Apollonius , also called the Sophist , was a famous Philologist grammarian , who probably lived towards the end of the 1st century AD and taught in Rome in the time of Tiberius . He was born in Alexandria , the son of another grammarian, Archibius . He was the author of a Homer ic lexicon , the only work of this kind existent today. His chief authorities were Aristarchus of Samothrace and Apion s Homeric glossary although some sources cite Apion as a disciple of Apollonius . The surviving text of this lexicon is an epitome , that is, it is a shortened summary of the original. In the original version, Apollonius apparently supplied at least one quotation in each entry. ref name Naoumides1962 cite journal author Naoumides M title Notes on literary papyri journal Trans Proc Am Philol Assoc volume 93 pages 240 52 year 1962 doi 10.2307 283764 jstor 283764 publisher The Johns Hopkins University Press ref It was edited for the first time by Villoison 1773, 2 vol. in quarto from a manuscript of Saint Germain, and also by I.

Lycophron was a sophist of Ancient Greece . He is known for his statement reproduced by Aristotle , in the latter s Politics Aristotle Politics , 1280b10 , that law is only a convention, a surety to another of justice . This means that he treats law as a mere means, in the context of a perhaps primitive social contract theory, without considering it as something special, in contradistinction to, e.g., Plato but similar to both Thrasymachus and Callicles , albeit that their theories have as far as can be ascertained from the information available about them more specific characteristics.

Timaeus the Sophist was a Greek philosophy Greek philosopher who lived sometime between the 1st and 4th centuries. Nothing is known about his life. He is the supposed author of a Lexicon of Platonism Platonic words which is still extant. The Lexicon made use of earlier commentaries on Plato which are now lost. It underwent significant additions and subtractions of text during later periods leading to the inclusion of many words which have nothing to do with Plato or his philosophy. The purpose of the Lexicon was to explain the usage of words and phrases which occur in Plato s works. The first detailed study of the manuscript and edition of the Lexicon was produced in the late 18th century by David Ruhnken 1754 2nd ed. 1789 who also provided a detailed commentary. There was a revised version of Ruhnken s second edition by Georg Aenotheus Koch in 1828. References Eleanor Dickey, 2007 , Ancient Greek Scholarship , page 47. Oxford University Press Michael C.

Specifically, in any triangle ABC , if AD is a median, then math AB 2 AC 2 2 AD 2 BD 2 , math It is a special case of Stewart s theorem . For an isosceles triangle the theorem reduces to the Pythagorean theorem . From the fact that diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, the theorem is equivalent to the parallelogram law .

For the Stoic philosopher of the same name Apollonius of Tyre philosopher Apollonius of Tyre is the subject of an ancient short novella, popular during medieval times. Existing in numerous forms in many languages, the text is thought to be translated from an ancient Greek manuscript, now lost. Plot summary In most versions, the eponymous hero is hunted and persecuted after he reveals a king s incestuous relationship with his daughter. After many travels and adventures, in which Apollonius loses both his wife and his daughter and thinks them both dead, he is eventually reunited with his family through unlikely circumstances or intercession by gods. Some English versions have a recognition plot where Apollonius is shipwrecked and becomes a tutor to a princess who falls in love with him, and the good king gradually discovers his daughter s wishes. The major themes are the punishment of inappropriate lust&mdash the incestuous king invariably comes to a bad end&mdash and the ultimate rewards of love and fidelity. Origins Latin and Greek?
