PAEDAGO'GUS (παιδαγωγός). A slave of the better class, whose peculiar duty it was to superintend the morals habits of his master's son, accompany him in his walks, conduct him to and from school, and perhaps also to give instruction at home. (Cic. Am. 20. Senec. Ira, ii. 22. Quint. i. 1. 8. Id. i. 2. 10.) He thus occupied a position somewhat, though not exactly, analogous to that of tutor amongst us; but resembled more closely the "tutore" of modern Italy, who is generally an "abbate," and accompanies his charge about upon all occasions, even when he goes to pay a visit, precisely like the pedagogue of ancient Greece and Italy. The figure introduced at p. 407. s. MANICA, 1. is believe to be intended for the paedagogus of one of Niobe's children; the style of the head and drapery are evidently meant to characterize a foreigner.
