^{page 99 note 1} Heinze believed that Horace's source in this passage was Cic. Parad. 5. 37: ‘Aëtionis tabula te stupidum detinet’. Although this is by no means certain (Lejay adopts a cautious attitude to die question, Satires d'Horace [Paris, 1911], pp. 541, 559), it may be worth pointing out that a contemptuous reference in Davus' mouth to a painting by Aetion would not be as appropriate as is the reference to a Pausiaca tabella. Among the small number of titles of paintings by Aëtion of which we hear (probably four or five—die interpretation of the list in Overbeck, no. 1937 = Plin. H.N. xxxv. 78 is doubtful) two, the ‘Marriage of Alexander and Roxane’ (Overbeck, no. 1948 = Lucian, Herodotus s. Aëtion 4 f.) and another in which die fabulous Semiramis was depicted and which seems to have been concerned with her dramatic rise to queenly power (Overbeck, no. 1937), have about them an air of the romantic and the exotic. In die sources dealing with Pausias there appears to be no mention of paintings in which incidents from history or mythology were depicted. The element of story-telling which we find in the two paintings by Aëtion and which may well have been absent from die work of Pausias would have appealed strongly to a naīve man like Davus.
