LUPUS, PUBLIUS RUTILIUS , See also:Roman rhetorician, flourished during the reign of Tiberius. He was the author of a See also:treatise on the figures of speech (IXi Sara Wen's), abridged from a similar See also:work by the rhetorician See also:Gorgias (of See also:Athens, not the well-known sophist of See also:Leontini), the See also:tutor of See also:Cicero's son. In its See also:present See also:form it is incomplete, as is clearly shown by the See also:express testimony of See also:Quintilian (Instil. ix. 2, 103, ro6) that Lupus also dealt with figures of sense, rhetorical figures (Ixihuara &avoias). The work is valuable chiefly as containing a number of examples, well translated into Latin, from the lost See also:works of See also:Greek rhetoricians. The author has been identified with the Lupus mentioned in the Ovidian See also:catalogue of poets (Ex Ponta, iv. 16), and was perhaps the son of the Publius Rutilius Lupus, who was a strong supporter of See also:Pompey.
