Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Life and Times of Apollonius of Tyana by Charles P. Eells, published in 1923. Issued as part of Stanford University Publications. An exhaustive scholarly study of the enigmatic first-century philosopher and wonder-worker Apollonius of Tyana, a figure from the Roman province of Cappadocia whose life and teachings were recorded in ancient sources and later surrounded by legend. The work examines Apollonius's role within the philosophical and religious landscape of the Roman world, his reputation as a healer and miracle worker, and the traditions that developed around his travels and teachings. Because of the striking parallels often drawn between Apollonius and Jesus Christ, the subject has long generated debate and controversy among historians and theologians, making Apollonius one of the most intriguing figures in the study of ancient religion and philosophy.
