Apollonius, Ancient Greek Philosopher

Apollonius of Tyana (15 - 100 AD) was a Greek Neopythagorean (school of Hellenistic philosophy which revived Pythagorean doctrines) philosopher from the town of Tyana in the Roman province of Cappadocia in Asia Minor. Little is known about him with certainty. Being a 1st century orator and philosopher around the time of Christ, he was compared with Jesus of Nazareth by Christians in the 4th century and by various popular writers in modern times. By far the most detailed source is the Life of Apollonius of Tyana, a lengthy, novelistic biography written by the sophist Philostratus. One of the essential sources Philostratus claimed to know are the diary of Damis, an acolyte and companion of Apollonius. Philostratus describes Apollonius as a wandering teacher of philosophy and miracle worker who was mainly active in Greece and Asia Minor but also travelled to Italy, Spain and North Africa and even to Mesopotamia, India, and Ethiopia. In particular, he.
