Apion

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Apion (lived 1st century AD)

Greek grammarian and head of the Alexandrian school. Apion's story of ‘Androcles and the Lion’, from his Aegyptiaca, survives in Aulus Gellius' Noctes Atticae. His Homeric glossary, based on Aristarchus of Samothrace, survives in fragments.

Born at Oasis in Libya, he was a member of a deputation which visited Caligula about AD 38 to complain about the Jews. Fragments of his books against the Jews have been preserved by Josephus (Contra Apionem).
