Question

Why is Longinus sometimes referred to as pseudo-

Longinus ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution has been to name him Pseudo-Longinus. On the Sublime apparently dates from the 1st century ad, because it was a response to a work of that period by Caecilius of Calacte, a Sicilian rhetorician. Longinus is one of the first Greeks to cite a passage from the Bible.
