Lesbocles
Le'sbocles
a Greek rhetorician, who lived at Rome in the time of the emperor Tiberius. (Senec. Suasor. ii. p. 18.) He was a rival of Latron; and a short fragment of one of his speeches is preserved in Seneca. (Controv. 1.8, p. 130, &c.) [L.S]
Le'sbocles
a celebrated statuary, none of whose works, however, were known to Pliny (Plin. Nat. 34.8. s. 19.25, where the name is differently spelt in the MSS. It is important also to observe, that instead of " Lesbocles, Prodorus, Pythodicus, Polygnotus: üden pictores nobilissimi," the Bamberg MS. has " idem pictor e nobilissimis," which is evidently right.
