Apollonides of Nicaea


Apollonides of Nicaea (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλωνίδης ὁ Νικαεύς) lived in the time of the Roman emperor Tiberius, to whom he dedicated a commentary on the Silloi of Timon of Phlius.

He wrote several works, all of which are lost:

An Apollonides, without any statement as to what was his native country, is mentioned by Strabo,Pliny the Elder, and by the Scholiast on Apollonius of Rhodes, as the author of a work called Circumnavigation of Europe (περίπλος τῆς Εὐρώπης). Stobaeus quotes some senarii from one Apollonides.
