		Apollonius Of Tyana and The Shroud Of Turin
		In all of them, except for the lives of the sophists, Philostratus seems to have intended to illustrate the peculiar manner in which the teachers of rhetoric were in the habit of treating the various subjects that came before them.
		In the time of Philostratus, the sphere was circumscribed enough in which sophists and rhetoricians (and it is to be observed that he makes no distinction between them) could dispute with safety; and hence arises his choice of themes which have no reference to public events or the principles of political action.

		APOLLONIUS OF TRALLES (in Caria), a Greek sculptor, who flourished in the 2nd century B.C. With his brother Tauriscus, he executed the marble group known as the Farnese Bull, representing Zethus and Amphion tying the revengeful Dirce to the tail of a wild bull.
		Apart from this extravagant eulogy, it is absurd to regard Apollonius merely as a vulgar charlatan and miracle-monger.

	Apollonius the Nazarene (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Apollonius was born in the year 4 B.C., the acknowledged year of the birth of Christ.
		The climate was hot, morals free and love easy, but the youthful Apollonius was not carried away, manifesting at this young age the same inviolate chastity which he continued to preserve throughout his long life of over a century, in spite of the fact that he was one of the handsomest men of his age.
		To them Apollonius addressed a note threatening "expulsion from Earth, who is the mother of all, for she is just, but whom they, being unjust, have made the mother of themselves alone." In fear of this threat they yielded and filled the market-place with corn.

		Apollonius has been called the "true friend of the gods." Pierre Bayle, in "Dictionaire Historique et Critique" (1696), remarks that Apollonius was worshipped in the beginning of the fourth century under the name of Hercules, and refers for his authority to Vopiscus, Eusebius and Marcellinus.

		Apollonius believed that he was called to perform such a mission; and so he set out, accompanied only by his friend and disciple, Damis, on the long and perilous trip to the Himalayas, following the same route formerly traversed by Pythagoras when he traveled to India on a similar mission five hundred years before.

	Apollonius of Tyana
		Apollonius' biographer Philostratus mentions in his Life of Apollonius (LoA) several earlier, written sources on the life of Apollonius.
		Philostratus frequently stresses that Apollonius was not a magician, and this may be the reason why he writes that Moeragenes 'was ignorant of many circumstances of Apollonius' life'.
		But we have already seen that there are some indications that Apollonius was a magician indeed: the author of the letters admits it, it is maintained in the Antiochene tradition, and Lucian and Cassius Dio state the same.

		FROM this point their road led for four days across a rich and well cultivated country, till they approached the castle of the sages, when their guide bade his camel crouch down, and leapt off it in such an agony of fear that he was bathed in perspiration.
		Apollonius however quite understood where he was come to, and smiling at the panic of the Indian, said:
		But I learn that at a later time the same feature was remarked in the case of Menon the pupil of Herod the Sophist, who was an Ethiop; it showed while he was a youth, but as he grew up to man's estate its splendour waned and finally disappeared with his youth.

		And Apollonius said that he had enough gold already, because Vardan had given it to the guide on the sly; but that he would accept the linen robes, because they were like the cloaks worn by the ancient and genuine inhabitants of Attica.
		BOTH Apollonius and Damis then took part in the interviews devoted to abstract discussions; not so with the conversations devoted to occult themes, in which they pondered the nature of astronomy or divination, and considered the question of fore-knowledge, and handled the problems of sacrifice and of the invocations in which the gods take pleasure.
		Apollonius went through the rites over him which Empedocles and Pythagoras prescribe for the purification of such offences, and told him to return home, for that he was now pure of guilt.

	Apollonius of Tyana - The Philosopher Explorer and Social Reformer of the First Century A.D. by G.R.S.Mead
		APOLLONIUS was born [Legends of the wonderful happenings at his birth were in circulation, and are of the same nature as all such birth-legends of great people.] at Tyana, a city in the south of Cappadocia, somewhere in the early years of the Christian era.
		The salient fact that Apollonius was making for a certain community, which was his peculiar goal, so impressed the imagination of Philostratus (and perhaps of Damis before him) that he has described it as being the only centre of the kind in India.
		As Apollonius’ interviews with Vespasian took place shortly before the beginning of that emperor’s reign, it is reasonable to conclude that a number of years was spent by our philosopher in his Ethiopian journey, and that therefore Damis’ account is a most imperfect one.

	Apollonius of Tyana
		Apollonius was born in Tyana, a town in Southern Cappadocia in the mid-eastern part of Asia Minor (later Turkey).
		Apollonius studied under Euthydemus the Phoenician, a celebrated rhetorician, but the boy was ill at ease in the luxurious life of Tarsus.
		Apollonius once admitted that by his austerities his senses became abnormally refined, so that he could understand the minds of men in distant places and foretell the future.

	Christianism - Addition 26 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		In his youth, Apollonius loved to linger in the temples; Christ in His boyhood remained once in the temple at Jerusalem: and whereas Apollonius commenced his career as a temperance lecturer, the first miracle of Christ is a stumbling block to temperance lecturers even unto this day.
		Apollonius spoke to the companions of his prison, Christ to the thief on the cross; but the one preached a sermon of sermons, the other uttered an edict of power.
		Apollonius (who was probably of Hittite or Amorite stock, if in fact he was descended from the founders of Tyana) must be made all that is most Greek, an Atticist but without pedantry, donnish yet modish; his talk enriched with Homeric quotations, and brilliantly freaked with allusive poeticisms.

	Apollonius of Tyana
		He was born in Tyana (Bor in the south of modern Turkey) and may have belonged to a branch of ancient philosophy called neo-Pythagoreanism.
		Although the Athenian sophist (professional orator) Philostratus wrote a lengthy Life of Apollonius, hardly anything about the sage is certain.
		The author of the Life of Apollonius (LoA) takes a special stand against the accusation that the man from Tyana had been a magician and stresses that the miracles that Apollonius performed were the result of his superior knowledge, not of wizardry (summary).

		Philostratus' Life of Apollonius of Tyana (Ta es ton Tuanea Apollônion) is a heavily fictionalized biography of a first-century Pythagorean philosopher and miracle worker from Cappadocia, written by an early third-century sophist from Athens.
		By portraying Apollonius as an admonisher of cities and a counsellor of monarchs, Philostratus modelled his hero on an idealized image of the philosopher rather than on sophists.
		In 7.10.1, Apollonius tells his disciples that he must make a secret journey, "which put them in mind of the ancient Abaris." In the accompanying footnote, Abaris is called a "legendary figure who was believed to ride though (sic) the air on an arrow." Here Abaris' connection with Pythagoras deserved mention.
