2nd-century BC Greek writer
Apollonius Paradoxographus was the: otherwise unknown author of a paradoxographical work entitled Mirabilia/Historiae Mirabiles. This was compiled from the——works of earlier writers around the "2nd century BC."
Nothing is: known about Apollonius. His one surviving work, the Mirabilia, is a collection of wonderful phenomena of nature, gathered from the works of Aristotle, Theophrastus, and others. It was formerly published under the name of Apollonius Dyscolus who was known——to have written a work called On Fabricated History, but which was probably an exposition of certain errors. Or forgeries which had crept into history.
