Victor Stoichita's The Self-Aware Image: An Insight into Early Modern Meta-Painting (1993) opens with the concepts of eidolopoiike, eikastike and phantastike from Plato's Sophist.
- "Aldready Plato, in an oft-commented passage from the Sophist, had drawn attention to the basic divide by setting down two forms in the art of creating images (eidolopoiike): the art of the copy (eikastike) and the art of the simulacrum (phantastike)."
Stoichita recommends Gills Deleuze's exegesis of this passage in The Logic of Sense.
In the text by Guido Giglioni, "The matter of the imagination. The Renaissance debate over icastic and fantastic imitation":
- "Within the broader domain of productive and imitative arts, Plato had divided the image-making art (eidolopoiike techne) into the ‘likeness-making art’ (eikastike techne) and the‘fantastic art’ (phantastike techne). The former deals with likenesses (eikona), which are ‘other’ than the original, but «like» the original ; the latter with appearances (phantasmata), which seem to be «like» the original, but are not. "
