About the Item
Title: "Testament of Eudamidas of the City of Corinth"
Description: This print depicts a scene from Lucian's 'Toxaris, or Friendship,' where Corinthian Eudamidas is seen lying in a bed, with a man sitting beside him taking down his dictation for the will, and another man standing beside the dying man. At the end of the bed, there is an old woman and a young woman mourning.
The title "Testament d'Eudamidas de la ville de Corinthe" refers to the "Testament of Eudamidas of Corinth," a story that revolves around the last will of Eudamidas, a citizen of the ancient Greek city of Corinth.
