## Bio

Apollodorus was born around 180 BC, the son of Asclepiades. He studied under some of the heaviest names in Hellenistic scholarship: the Stoic philosophers Diogenes of Babylon and Panaetius, and the grammarian Aristarchus of Samothrace, where he likely crossed paths with Dionysius Thrax. Around 146 BC he left Alexandria—possibly in haste—and made his way to Pergamon before settling in Athens. There he worked as a historian and grammarian, operating in the shadow of Alexandria's fading dominance and Athens's long memory.
