	Apollonius biography
		While Apollonius was at Pergamum he met Eudemus of Pergamum (not to be confused with Eudemus of Rhodes who wrote the History of Geometry) and also Attalus, who many think must be King Attalus I of Pergamum.
		In On the Burning Mirror Apollonius showed that parallel rays of light are not brought to a focus by a spherical mirror (as had been previously thought) and discussed the focal properties of a parabolic mirror.
		Apollonius was also an important founder of Greek mathematical astronomy, which used geometrical models to explain planetary theory.

		Apollonius came into Athens on the day of the Epidaurian festival to be initiated into the Eleusinian Mysteries, but the hierophant refused to initiate Apollonius on the grounds that he dabbled in other rites.
		Apollonius met a funeral procession passing through the streets and discovered that the deceased had died in the hour she was to have been married.
		Apollonius refused to go, but gave a letter to Damis to take to the emperor with the instruction: "Live unobserved, and if that cannot be, slip unobserved from life." Seeing Damis off, he added: "Even if you have to philosophize by yourself, keep your eyes upon me." Damis left, and Apollonius disappeared from history.
