CAECILIUS

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 933 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
CAECILIUS , of Calacte (KaXil'Aurii) in Sicily, Greek rhetorician, flourished at Rome during the reign of
Augustus
 . Originally called Archagathus, he took the name of Caecilius from his patron, one of the Metelli. According to Suidas, he was by
birth
  a Jew. Next to
Dionysius
  of
Halicarnassus
 , he was the most important critic and rhetorician of the Augustan age. Only fragments are extant of his numerous and important works, among which may be mentioned: On the Style of the Ten Orators (including their lives and a
critical
  examination of their works), the basis of the pseudo-Plutarchian treatise of the same name, in which Caecilius is frequently referred to; On the Sublime, attacked by (?) Longinus in his essay on the same subject (see L. Martens, De Libello IIEp ih/.ous, 1877) ; History of the Servile Wars, or slave risings in Sicily, the local
interest
  of which would naturally appeal to the author; On Rhetoric and Rhetorical Figures; an Alphabetical Selection of Phrases, intended to serve as a guide to the acquirement of a pure Attic stylethe first example of an Atticist lexicon, mentioned by Suidas in the
preface
  to his lexicon as one of his authorities; Against the Phrygians, probably an attack on the florid style of the Asiatic school of rhetoric.
The fragments have been collected and edited by T. Burckhardt (1863), and E. Ofenloch (1907); some in C. W. Muller, Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum, iii.; C. Bursian's Jahresbericht . . . der classischen Altertumswissenschaft, xxiii. (1896), contains full notices of
recent
  works on Caecilius, by C.
Hammer
 ; F. Blass, Griechische Beredsamkeit von Alexander bis auf
Augustus
  (1865), treats of
Dionysius
  of
Halicarnassus
  and Caecilius together; see also J. Brzoska in Pauly-Wissowa, Realencyclopadie (1897).
