Summary/Abstract: In this study, I attempt to give some sense of how Kritoboulos of Imbros deployed the toolkit of characterisation, and of how subtle his means for ēthopoiia were. In doing so, I examine the interplays between characterisation, style and structure, and detect, where it is detectable, the historiographical traditions which Kritoboulos’ methods for forming characters stem from. I also try to answer the question why Kritoboulos used certain repeated phrases in his portraits.
