  Apollonius of Tyre - en gammelengelsk versjon
Apollonius then truly, having received the riddle, turned him a little from the king, and when he considered the sense, he gained it with wisdom; and with God's support, he guessed the truth.
Apollonius then went out, and clothed himself, and set a crown upon his head, and took the harp in his hand, and went in, and so stood that the king, and all those sitting around, thought that he was not Apollonius, but that he was Apollo the god of the heathens.
Then there was stillness and silence within the hall, and Apollonius took his harp-nail, and he began with skill to move the harp-strings, and the sound of the harp mingled with pleasant song: and the king himself, and all that were there present, cried with a loud voice and praised him.

 Apollonius of Tyana
Apollonius' testament and the hymn in honor of Memory are otherwise unknown.

In Old English Apollonius of Tyre (1958), Peter Goolden referred to this translation as "the first English novel." The story was later translated into English by the poet John Gower, who included it in his Confessio Amantis (1390) as an exemplum (moralized tale) against incest.
It was Gower's translation of Apollonius that was to serve as the primary basis for Shakespeare's Pericles.

 Papa Don't Preach: The Power of Prolixity in Pericles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
The Latin romance of Apollonius of Tyre, which Shakespeare adapted from John Gower's version in the Confessio Amantis (circa 1375), presents the sexual relationship between Antiochus and his daughter as an emblem of tyranny, while the platonic, paternal affection displayed by Apollonius towards his own daughter is an extension of his capacity for benevolent rule.
However, to regard the hero's impeccable character as the opposite of Antiochus's moral monstrosity is to overlook the central drama of Shakespeare's Pericles, in which the hapless hero struggles against falling into a classic folktale scenario, according to which the daughter takes her dead mother's place as the consort of the king, her father.
According to Rank, the Apollonius legend concerns both the father's desire to replace an aged wife with her 'youthful image,' and the daughter's fantasy of replacing the mother and winning her father's unlimited affections (300–38).

 Apollonius of Tyre   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Apollonius of Tyre is considered the earliest English "romance," though this is not the literary terminology the Anglo-Saxons would have used.
The story is perhaps most (in)famous for its incest episode, and is sometimes studied today for the relationships it sets up and breaks down between fathers and daughters, and fathers-in-law and sons-in-laws.
It seems appropriate that an image of Apollonius at sea should appear on a gamepiece that survives from the early middle ages; chance and strategy are certainly two key themes in the romance:
