# Theodorus of Gadara

> Theodorus of Gadara was a Greek rhetorician of the 1st century BC from Gadara who founded a rhetorical school in his native city. According to the Suda, he taught future Roman emperor Tiberius the art of rhetoric. Suetonius wrote of Tiberius that:...even in his boyhood, his cruel and cold nature did not lie hidden. Theodorus of Gadara was his teacher of rhetoric and, in all his wisdom, seems to have been the first to have understood Tiberius and to have capped him with a very pithy saying when he taunted Tiberius, calling him 'Mud kneaded with blood'...
