Apollonius Of Tyana

Apollonius Of Tyana is a book by George Robert Stowe Mead, first published in 1901. It examines the life and legend of the Greek philosopher and mystic who lived in the first century AD and was regarded by his followers as a wonder-worker and miracle-worker.

Born in the ancient city of Tyana in the Roman province of Cappadocia, Apollonius was known for his ascetic lifestyle and his opposition to the materialism of his age. He was credited with many extraordinary feats, including healing the sick and raising the dead.

Mead explores Apollonius’s early life, his biographer, the surviving texts and literature about him, as well as his sayings, sermons, writings, and letters, presenting a detailed portrait of one of antiquity’s most enigmatic spiritual figures.
