%X in the cena, daedalus' gastronomical sculptures allude to the archetype of the artist and emphasize the m¨ªmesis as aesthetics of freedmen. in sat. 126, polyaenus admires circe like a statue: this ¨¦kphrasis, modelled on ovidian sources, hints at pygmalion, the artist who creates images free from reality impurities (met. 10. 238-297). his art is not anti-naturalistic; the dissimulatio artis ensures the verisimilitude: circe is more genuine than polyaenus, whose beauty is sophisticated. petronius confuses ironically or overturns art and nature: while in the cena he aims at a social characterization, here everything is uncertain between realism and literary fiction.
