Longinus (; Longĩnos) is the conventional name of the author of the treatise On the Sublime ( Perì hýpsous), a work which focuses on the effect of good writing. Longinus, sometimes referred to as Pseudo-Longinus because his real name is unknown, was a Greek teacher of rhetoric or a literary critic who may have lived in the 1st or 3rd century AD. Longinus is known only for On the Sublime. Longinus was greatly influenced by the large amount of traveling he completed in his youth. He journeyed to countless cities such as Athens, Rome and Alexandria. While on these trips, he attended lectures about philosophy, undoubtedly shaping his own beliefs. One of Longinus’ favorite philosophers was Plato.
Longinus may refer to:

The only evidence for him is a fragment of an inscription ( CIL XVI 130) which lists a few letters of the name and is open to interpretation.
