Apollonius of Rhodes (fl. Third Century B.C.)

Apollonius of Rhodes (ap-o-lō’ni-us). A Greek grammarian and poet; flourished about 200 B.C. His one poetic composition, ‘Argonautics,’ gives but scant proof of its author’s poetic inspiration, though it has a few passages of high artistic beauty. It was widely read by the Romans; both Virgil and Ovid borrowed a little from Apollonius.
