Lupus, Rutilius
The author of an extant rhetorical treatise in two books, entitled
De Figuris
Sententiarum et Elocutionis. He appears to have lived in the time of Nero. His work
is chiefly valuable for well-translated extracts from Greek orations now lost. It is probably
an abridged translation of one of the rhetorical works of Gorgias, but in its present shape is
incomplete. It is printed in the
Rhetores Latini Minores of C. Halm, pp. 3-21
(Leipzig, 1863), and has been edited with explanatory notes by Jacob
(Lübeck, 1837) and Draheim
(Berlin, 1874). See C. Schmidt,
De Rutilio Lupo (Breslau, 1865).
