 Untitled
And when supreme master of all, he was often wont to muster together the most impudent players and stage-followers of the town, and to drink and bandy jests with them without regard to his age or the dignity of his place, and to the prejudice of important affairs that required his attention.
It seems to have been a sort of diseased result of this laxity that he was so prone to amorous pleasures, and yielded without resistance to any temptation of voluptuousness, from which even in his old age he could not refrain.
His chief favourites were Roscius the comedian, Sorex the arch mime, and Metrobius the player, for whom, though past his prime, he still professed a passionate fondness.

 Menexenus by Plato eBook by BookRags
Socrates: That I should be able to speak is no great wonder, Menexenus, considering that I have an excellent mistress in the art of rhetoric,—­she who has made so many good speakers, and one who was the best among all the Hellenes—­Pericles, the son of Xanthippus.
Socrates: Yes, I do; and besides her I had Connus, the son of Metrobius, as a master, and he was my master in music, as she was in rhetoric.
No wonder that a man who has received such an education should be a finished speaker; even the pupil of very inferior masters, say, for example, one who had learned music of Lamprus, and rhetoric of Antiphon the Rhamnusian, might make a figure if he were to praise the Athenians among the Athenians.

 Who, sweet, pure humble Sulla?
Scripsisti: "It would be nice if we could come to an overall comprehension about who Sulla's wives really were." Actually I am surprised in the board?s discussion of the wives of Sylla that no one brought up Metrobius Ilia, Metella, did you forget Valeria?
Or is that what you meant when you wrote, "As far as my namesake, I do take offence at the suggestion that I would seek a 3rd when I was sleeping with my mistress and step-mother already..." Is it Metrobius to whom you are referring?
