 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 96.8.4
The philosopher portraits of the 3rd century try for the first time to show the process of thinking and to make visible the mental struggle involved, the triumph of the mind over the body.
The philosophers' "pathos of tranquillity" was also placed in contrast to the "pathos of power" of the Hellenistic kings (134 ff.).
At this time artists, moreover, invented a whole range of retrospective portraits (Panyassis of Halicarnassus, Hipponax, Anaximander etc.) that aimed at a cultivated spectator and are to be seen in connection with Hellenistic philology and the scholars at kings' courts; they were a kind of "icons in the cult of paideia" (180).
