Apollonius Paradoxographus was the otherwise unknown author of a paradoxographical work entitled Mirabilia or Historiae 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, the Mirabilia, is a collection of wonderful phenomena of nature, gathered from the works of Aristotle, Theophrastus, and others.[2] It was formerly published under the name of Apollonius Dyscolus who was known to have written a work called On Fabricated History,[3] but which was probably an exposition of certain errors or forgeries which had crept into history.[2]
