Description
Olearius’ edition of the Philostrati, which uses unpublished notes by the English literary giant Richard Bentley on the MS of the ‘Heroica’ in New College, Oxford (Preface p. XI; footnotes, pp. 660-753). Works by the c.3rd century AD members of the Philostratus family are (by ‘the Athenian’), an account of the 1st century AD Pythagorean Apollonius of Tyana, of other pagan sophists, of the cults of heroes of the Trojan war, and letters on themes of love ; (possibly by his great nephew and son-in-law, ‘the Lemnian’) a set of descriptions of artistic images; (possibly by his son, ‘the younger’) a further set of artistic descriptions. Also included are letters once attributed to Apollonius of Tyana; descriptions of statues by Callistratus (fl. 3rd or 4th century), who imitated Philostratus; and the treatise of Eusebius of Caesarea (c.AD 260-339) against comparisons, made by the Stoic Hierocles (fl. 2nd century), between Apollonius of Tyana and Christ.
