PUBLIUS RUTILIUS

LUPUS  , Roman rhetorician, flourished during the reign of Tiberius . He was the author of a treatise on the figures of speech (IXi Sara Wen's), abridged from a similar work by the rhetorician Gorgias (of Athens, not the well-known sophist of Leontini), the tutor of Cicero's son . In its present form it is incomplete, as is clearly shown by the express testimony of 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 works of Greek rhetoricians . The author has been identified with the Lupus mentioned in the Ovidian catalogue of poets (Ex Ponta, iv . 16), and was perhaps the son of the Publius Rutilius Lupus, who was a strong supporter of Pompey .
