Apollonius the Sophist

Apollonius the Sophist

Apollonius, also called "the Sophist", was a famous grammarian, who probably lived towards the end of the 1st century A.D. and taught in Rome in the time of Tiberius. He was born in Alexandria, the son of another grammarian, "Archibius".

He was the author of a Homeric lexicon (Λεξεις Ὁμηρικαι), the only work of this kind existent today. His chief authorities were Aristarchus of Samothrace and Apion's Homeric glossary (although some sources cite Apion as a disciple of Apollonius).

It was edited for the first time by Villoison (1773, 2 vol. in-quarto) from a manuscript of Saint Germain, and also by I. Bekker (1833).
