# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Apollonius came from Tyana in Cappadocia around AD 15 and built his life around Neopythagoreanism, spending decades travelling through the Middle East, North Africa, and India with his companion Damis. His mystical practices and what contemporaries saw as an exemplary way of life drew attention wherever he went, and reports of miracles followed him. The imperial authorities eventually tried him for using magic to conspire against the emperor, convicted him, and sentenced him to death. His followers believed he ascended to heaven afterward, and the legends accumulated in the extensive Life of Apollonius, which preserved the accounts through antiquity. He died around AD 100, leaving a figure most modern scholars accept as historical beneath the layers of legend.
