Christopher P. Jones is George Martin Lane Professor of the Classics and of History, Emeritus, at Harvard University.
Jones has produced a superlative edition... The text is judicious
and the translation stylishly captures the sophist’s rhetorical
range. It is based on, but betters, [his] abridged translation for
Penguin Classics, published in 1970. It is a good read in its own
right: no mean feat. Excellent introductory material and maps help
chart Apollonius’s imaginary journey. He may no longer be
worshipped (except in the wackier corners of cyberspace), but
nonetheless we can rightly say: Apollonius Lives!
*Times Literary Supplement*
This new Loeb edition of Apollonius... fulfills admirably the aims
of this series... The introduction, as one would expect from Jones,
touches upon all the important features of this rich text and
reflects great familiarity with the scholarship in all fields—from
history and literature to philosophy and theology—which have been
concerned with it.
