“…Further, the rhetoric manuals of the second sophist period such as the prognymnasmata of Ailios Theon -where we have the definition of ekphrasis as "ἔκφρασις ἐστί λόγος περιηγηματικός ἐναργώς ὑπ' ὄψιν ἄγων τό δηλούμενον [Ekphrasis is descriptive (periēgēmatikos) speech which brings (literally 'leads') the thing shown vividly (enargōs) before the eyes]" (Webb 2009, 51)sit somewhat uncomfortably with the limited modern conception of "descriptions of artworks". There could be a different lineage of the term in prose works, including Eikones by Philostratus (beginning of third century CE) or Ekphraseis of statues by Kallistratus (beginning of fourth century CE), where ekphrasis emerges as an independent short prose genre.…”

“…Dabei zeigt sich deutlich, dass Heliodor um den Platz des Romans im Gefü ge der Gattungen ringt -er orientiert sich am Epos, konkret an Homer, 64 den er immer wieder zitiert und aufruft, und am Drama, dessen direkten Kontakt zum Publikum er in zahlreichen Ekphraseis imitiert. 65 Die Aithiopika bieten ein auÞerordentlich vielschichtiges Modell der Liebeshandlung (wesentlich breiter, als diese Skizze anzudeuten vermag) und betten diese in einen so umfassenden Kontext ein, dass die Abenteuererzä hlung zur Liebeserzä hlung und die Liebeserzä hlung zur Instanz der Welterfassung wird. Die Liebe wird damit nicht nur zur Selbstreferenz, sie wird zur Weltreferenz und bestimmt das Leben der Liebenden so wie das aller Menschen, die mit ihnen in Kontakt kommen -alle, denen Theagenes und Chariklea begegnen, positionieren sich zu ihnen als Paar, indem sie sie unterstü tzen oder aber versuchen, einen der Partner fü r sich zu gewinnen.…”

Webb (2009) provides the most important recent discussion of rhetorical ideas about ecphrasis; on the debts to longer tradition of literary composition and criticism, however, see the overview of Squire, 2009: 139-46 and2015c (with references to the extensive literature). 87 On definitions of the subjects of ecphrasis in the Progymnasmata see Webb, 2009: 61-86, 213-14.…”
