Apollonius of Alabanda [1] (also Apollonius Malakos, Appolonius Malachus)[2] (malakos meaning 'soft', with the potential implication of 'effeminate') (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλώνιος ὁ Μαλακός) was a Greek sophist rhetorician of Alabanda in Caria who flourished about 120 BC.
[3] After studying under Menecles, chief of the Asiatic school of oratory, he settled in Rhodes, where he taught rhetoric.
[4] Among his pupils were Q. Mucius Scaevola the augur, and Marcus Antonius, the grandfather of Mark Antony.
