Apollonius Paradoxographus was the otherwise unknown author of aparadoxographical work entitledMirabilia orHistoriae Mirabiles. This was compiled from the works of earlier writers around the 2nd century BC.[1]
Nothing is known about Apollonius. His one surviving work, theMirabilia, is a collection of wonderful phenomena of nature, gathered from the works ofAristotle,Theophrastus, and others.[2] It was formerly published under the name ofApollonius Dyscolus who was known to have written a work calledOn Fabricated History,[3] but which was probably an exposition of certain errors or forgeries which had crept into history.[2]
