Tracing the possible reciprocal influences between the visual arts and literary works is always an interesting challenge, since it enables one to highlight the huge variety of suggestions, influences, tendencies, and aims that lie behind a work of art.1 This process is even more complex when it is applied to the ancient world: in this case it is essential to exercise caution, since the scholarly tradition often has to deal with influences which are neither immediately explicit nor hardly ever documented by 'statements of intent' on the part of the artists. However, even if it may not be possible to pinpoint in a figurative work an explicit allusion to a literary work, nevertheless it is worthwhile to try to compare the two art forms.2 In doing so it is important to regard them not as two distinct objects connected merely by the attempt at comparison proposed by the scholar, but rather as two interconnected spheres, sometimes moving in parallel and sometimes intersecting with a lesser or greater degree of selfconsciousness.3
