	Apollonius of Rhodes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alexandrian by birth, Apollonius was drawn to the center of Hellenistic scholarship, the Library of Alexandria, where he became a student of Callimachus.
		Apollonius may have been influenced here by Callimachus’ brevity, or by Aristotle’s demand for "poems on a smaller scale than the old epics, and answering in length to the group of tragedies presented at a single sitting" (Poetics), which is true of the Argonautika.
		Apollonius also chooses the less shocking versions of some myths, having Medea, for example, merely watch the murder of Apsyrtos instead of murdering him herself.

		In 164 BC, Rhodes signed a treaty with Rome, and became a major schooling center for Roman noble families, and was especially noted for its teachers of rhetoric, such as Hermagoras and the author of the Rhetorica ad Herennium.

	Apollonius of Rhodes - Penguin Group (New Zealand) Authors - Penguin Group (New Zealand)
		Little is known of the life of Apollonius of Rhodes.
		Unlike his life-long rival Callimachus, Apollonius developed the classical traditions of the Homeric epic, expanding them to include a flair for romance and psychological insight which were entirely his own.
		He published his first version of the Argonautica sometime in the middle of the third century B.C. He was met with derision both from the public and the influential Callimachus, and Apollonius prepared a second and probably shorter version.

		In fact, we have very little information on him, but we learn from one source on his life that he was of Alexandria by birth, (1) that he lived in the time of the Ptolemies, and was a pupil of Callimachus; that while still a youth he composed and recited in public his "Argonautica".
		The subject of love had been treated in the romantic spirit before the time of Apollonius in writings that have perished, but the "Argonautica" is perhaps the first poem still extant in which the expression of this spirit is developed with elaboration.
		The Medea of Apollonius is the direct precursor of the Dido of Virgil, and it is the pathos and passion of the fourth book of the "Aeneid" that keep alive many a passage of Apollonius.

	Apollonius' The Voyage of Argo
		Apollonius tells the story at a faster pace, tending to skip over the intimate details of things like battles and simply recount the result.
		Apollonius relies just as heavily on descriptive metaphors, and the emphasis on paternity and lineage of the characters is just as prominent as in Homer.
		As an example of both the differences and similarities of Apollonius' work in regard to Homer's moral issues, the women of the island of Lemnos, whom the Argonauts encounter on their outward journey, embody characteristics which are respectively praised and condemned in Homer.
