Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Apollonius of Tyana and Other Essays A reformer of Greek religion from within, whose activity may have coincided with the first emergence of the Christian propaganda from Judaea, is undoubtedly an interesting historical figure. And both in ancient and in modern times Apollonius of Tyana has been made the subject of parallels which were probably never thought of by the author of his extant Life. The first of these parallels was by Hierocles, Proconsul of Bithynia under Diocletian; in which the attempt seems to have been made to show that the marvels attributed to Apollonius were better authenticated than those attributed to Christ. We do not possess this work itself; but we have the reply of Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea and ecclesiastical historian, written after the triumph of the new faith. The most elaborate modern parallel is that of F. C. Baur, first published in 1832.1 Baur here attempts to show, not only that there are resemblances between the Life of Apollonius by Philostratus and the Gospels, but that Philostratus deliberately modelled his hero on the type set forth by the Evangelists. Though he was followed in this view by Zeller, it is now generally rejected; so that there is no need to enter into con' troversy on the subject. It remains, however, none the less interesting to try to determine the character of the reforming activity of Apollonius himself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life of Apollonius of Tyana or the First Ten Decades of Our Era We refrain from giving the name of the author of the foregoing quoted words on the ground that he may deem it unfair to be put in a position not of his own seeking, where he may be called upon to defend an utterance made five' years ago; and more especially as he has greatly modified his views on the subject of revelation. We however accept the challenge, and not in a humor of bravado or conceit, nor as a contest for victory, but with a sincere desire to discover the truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Apollonius of Tyana: A Study of His Life and Times Tyana's saint and sage. Nor has the spell fallen upon scholars and critics alone. Thousands of readers of Keats' Lamia have lingered curiously over the foot-note, drawn from The Anatomy of Mel/1h choly, in which Burton quotes Philostratus' account of the young philosopher whom Apollonius miraculously delivered from a lamia, or serpent, in the guise of a beautiful young gentlewoman. There are others who profess to breathe again the atmosphere of the fesculapian College at nae in Pater's Marius the Epicurean. Swedenborgians have found in Apoll'onius a Swedenborg born out of due time: and some so-called Theoso phists, on the strength of the sage's pilgrimage to the wise men of India, have claimed him for their very own. Yet his full legend in English is no longer to be bought for money. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Apollonius of Tyana, the Pagan Christ of the Third Century: An Essay Such is a condensed summary of the Augustan history during the period about the middle of which Philostratus published his life of Apollonius; it includes the lives of princes who, with the exception of the first, were below the ordinary average of men. And yet during this same period the empire remained comparatively tran quil, and passed without any noticeable convulsion into an entirely new era. It was in Caracalla's time that this very serious transformation was effected, which had long been dreamt of and intended by the imperial aristocracy, viz., that all who were freemen in the state should be created Roman citizens. It was the final blow to the old Roman commonwealth. From that time forth Rome became the conquest of the provinces. The religious univer salism which is so main a feature in the teachings of Apollonius has its counter part in the political universalism the in troduction of which has given to the obtuse-minded Caracalla a position in his tory which he was far from anticipating; at the same time, however, when the true character of this period is closely examined.
