Apollonius paradoxographus

Who is Apollonius paradoxographus?

Apollonius paradoxographus was the author of a paradoxographical work Mirabilia which was compiled from the works of earlier writers.

Nothing is known about Apollonius. His one surviving work, the Mirabilia, is a collection of wonderful phenomena of nature, ga­thered from the works of Aristotle, Theophrastus, and others. It was formerly published under the name of Apollonius Dyscolus who was known to have written a work called On Fabricated History, but which was probably an exposition of certain errors or forgeries which had crept into history.
