About this person
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.
