In Fuller’s words

“From Philostratus descriptions of ancient pictures now lost. / The principal requisite to a fine composition was well known to the ancients ... / Rhodogyne – / Warrior Queen! She has overcome the faithless Armenians at the head of her Persians ... [through p. 21, covering Rhodogyne, four Argonaut pictures, Cyclops and Galatea, Hercules feasting with Admetus]”
