Apollonius Of Tyana

by George Robert Stowe Mead

Overview

Who was Apollonius of Tyana? A mystic, philosopher, wandering pythagorean teacher. There is practically no collection about his philosophy and even some basic principles are not agreed by researchers. This book is about one of the most controversial philosopher of ancient culture, but as a mystic and a wanderer, Apollonius does not suit to the status of common philosopher, like Plato or Aristotle. It was especially interesting to read about the speculations of his trips to India and perhaps also to Nepal.

About the Author

G. R. S. Mead is regarded as a pioneer in the field of Gnostic and Hermetic studies. A highly intuitive scholar, Mead joined the company of Madame Blavatsky and her close associates. In this circle, he learned the profound mysteries of the Gnostics and became a translator of these writings. Mead evidently suffered some scholarly prejudice because of his connections with Theosophy. However, he also visited with C. G. Jung during his last years, and Jung thanked him for his dedicated work, his outstanding use of the English language, and for his affinity toward the experience of Gnosis
