Apollonius of Tyana was a Greek Pythagorean philosopher and teacher. He hailed from the town of Tyana in the Roman province of Cappadocia in Asia Minor. He was roughly a contemporary of Jesus.

À propos de l'auteur

George Robert Stowe Mead was an English scholar, translator, editor, and esoteric writer closely associated with the Theosophical movement and the study of ancient religion, Gnosticism, Hermetic literature, and early Christian origins. Born in 1863, Mead became known for works that attempted to recover and explain the religious and philosophical currents of the ancient world for modern readers. His scholarship often moved across the boundaries between classical studies, comparative religion, mysticism, and esoteric interpretation, making him an important figure for readers interested in the transmission of ancient wisdom traditions into modern spiritual thought.Mead's writings include studies of Gnosticism, Hermetic texts, early Christianity, Apollonius of Tyana, and the broader religious imagination of late antiquity. While modern scholarship has often revised or challenged aspects of early esoteric interpretation, Mead remains historically important as a serious populariser of ancient spiritual literature and as a bridge between nineteenth-century occult revival, Theosophy, classical learning, and the study of alternative religious history. His work continues to appeal to readers of mysticism, ancient philosophy, esoteric Christianity, comparative religion, and the hidden or marginal traditions of the ancient Mediterranean world.
