Apollonius Paradoxographus

Apollonius Paradoxographus was the otherwise unknown author of a paradoxographical work entitled Mirabilia or Historiae Mirabiles.

This was compiled from the works of earlier writers around the 2nd century BC.

[1] 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.

[2] It was formerly published under the name of Apollonius Dyscolus who was known to have written a work called On Fabricated History,[3] but which was probably an exposition of certain errors or forgeries which had crept into history.
