Notes on the current edition

The Double Indictment

1.
An allusion to the famous frescoes of the Painted Porch; Polygnotus’ Taking of Troy, Theseus and the Amazons, and Battle of Marathon. Lucian brings in a bit of fun by deliberately using language which suggests a painted face and a gay dress and is in this sense so incongruous as to be comical.
