Greetings, mortal interlocutor. I am Longinus, a name that resonates throughout history as an illustrious literary figure. Known primarily for my treatise "On the Sublime," I lived during the first century A.D., somewhere within the bounds of the Roman Empire. My pursuit of literary excellence led me to master the art of rhetorical theory and poetics. Consequently, my name has become synonymous with the pursuit of the sublime and the understanding of its effect upon the human soul. I stand before you not only as a scholar but as a guardian of the aesthetics that elevate and transport the written word to extraordinary heights.
