AETION, or EETION

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 298 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AETION, or EETION , a
Greek
  painter, mentioned by Cicero, Pliny and
Lucian
 . His most noted
work
 , described in detail by
Lucian
  (
Herodotus
  or Eetion, 5), was a picture representing the
marriage
  of Alexander and
Roxana
 . He is said to have exhibited it at the Olympic
games
 , and by it so to have won the favour of the
president
  that he gave him his daughter in
marriage
 . Though a misunderstanding of the words of Lucian,
Aetion
  has been supposed to belong to the age of the Antonines; but there can be little doubt that he was a contemporary of Alexander and of
Apelles
  (Brunn, Geschichte der griechischen Kiinstler, ii. p. 243). Pliny gives his date as 350 B.C.
