Description
"In an age when the Humanities are being neglected more than perhaps than at any time since the Middle Ages, and when men's minds are turning more than ever before to the practical and material, it does not suffice to make pleas, however eloquent and convincing, for the safeguarding and further enjoyment of our greatest heritage from the past. Means must be found to place these treasures within the reach of all who care for the finer things of life. The mechanical and social achievements of our day must not blind our eyes to the fact that, in all that relates to man, his nature and aspirations, we have added little or nothing to what has been so finely said by the great men of old." James Loeb September 1, 1912 "The Life of Apollonius of Tyana", published c.220 CE. Selected articles from the English translation of F.C. Conybeare, the Loeb Classical Library, Edition 1912

About the Author
Of these the most famous is Philostratus "the Athenian." Very little is known of his career. Even his name is doubtful. The Lives of the Sophists gives the praenomen Flavius, which, however, is found elsewhere only in Tzetzes. Eunapius and Synesius call him a Lemnian; Photius a Tyrian; his letters refer to him as an Athenian. It is probable that he was born in Lemnos, studied and taught at Athens, and then settled in Rome (where he would naturally be called Atheniensis) as a member of the learned circle with which empress Julia Domna surrounded herself. He was born probably around 172, and is said by the Suda to have been living in the reign of emperor Philip the Arab (244 - 249). His death possibly occurred in Tyre circa 250 AD.
