Description
Excerpt from The Life of Apollonius of Tyana: Translated From the Greek of Philostratus; With Notes and Illustrations
Life of Apollonius, he had no such intention. Ter of Apollonius, and his ''history.as written by Philostratus. I To the above Opinions I can add those of the learned and liberal compilers of the new Biographical Dictionary, in con firmationcf my own opinion, who say in their account-of Apollonius, that Dr. Lardner has fullyshewn that Philostratus did not ''write his life with ''anygreference to that of Christ, and thatihis design was_''to exhibit this philosopher as a counterpart to Pythagoras. As such, they conclude, he is doubtless to be considered, and we shall not, I think, pronounce unfairly con: cerning him, if. We assert that in him were unit-i cd the characters of both the sage and the im postor.
