Apollonius.Net - The Many Faces Of Apollonius Apollonius Cyprius (Koprios) was the pupil of Olympicus and the tutor to Julianus. Apollonius and his son are called by Priscian in several passages the greatest of all grammarians, and he declares, that it was only owing to the assistance which he derived from their works that he was enabled to undertake his task. Apollonius is said to have been so poor, that he was obliged to write on shells, as he had no means of procuring the ordinary writing materials; and this poverty created that state of mind to which he owed the surname of Dyscolos. www.apollonius.net /manyfaces.html

Wordwizard Clubhouse - Molon lave / molon labe And yet the saying "molon lave" remains clearly associated with Leonidas (and is inscribed on the pedestal of the 20th-century statue of him at Thermopylae - see http://www.dancingmountain.ca/greece/Leonidas1a.jpg). Quite clearly (although I was unaware of this before I started trying to track this down), the phrase has been thoroughly misappropriated by the gun lobby in the States (see http://photos1.blogger.com/img/101/1793/320/molonlave_s.jpg for an averagely unpleasant example). As correctly stated by river, the 'v' in "molon lave" actually is a beta, pronounced 'v' in modern Greek but never transliterated that way in Ancient Greek. www.wordwizard.com /ch_forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18500   (1141 words)

Molon Labe, Blago! "Molon Labe." It means, "Come and get them." With these words, the Spartan King Leonidas defied the envoy of Xerxes, who demanded that the Spartans guarding the pass of Thermopylae lay down their arms. The "Molon Labe Blago" project exists to raffle a.50 caliber rifle on college campuses across Illinois. We protest HB 2414, which would ban semi-auto and.50 cal rifles in Illinois. www.molonlabeblago.com   (480 words)

Op-Ed: Molon Labe Molon Labe also deals with the need for the Free State to wrest government schooling from Washington in order to end the socialist indoctrination being mandated by the Department of Education. This was so offensive to the liberals in Molon Labe that they dropped their plans to move to the Free State, and if they were on their way, they literally turned their moving vans around. When the US attorney in charge of prosecuting the Charlotte case saw the tape, he immediately dropped all charges, with prejudice; hence, the charges can never be brought up again. www.gunowners.org /op0528.htm   (631 words)

Cicero by Plutarch Amongst the Asian masters, he conversed with Xenocles of Adramyttium, Dionysius of Magnesia, and Menippus of Caria; at Rhodes, he studied oratory with Apollonius, the son of Molon, and philosophy with Posidonius. Apollonius, we are told, not understanding Latin, requested Cicero to declaim in Greek. And after he finished, all his other hearers were astonished, and contended who should praise him most, but Apollonius, who had shown no signs of excitement whilst he was hearing him, so also now, when it was over, sate musing for some considerable time, without any remark. www.4literature.net /Plutarch/Cicero/2.html   (2203 words)

Clay's Blog In attempts to further his prowess in the art of speech-making, Caesar made a journey to listen to the acclaimed rhetorician Apollonius Molon, but was captured and held ransom by pirates.
