Talk:Apollonios Rhodios

Corrected some information, including: the placement in “Ancient Greece” (he was Hellenistic), who Apollonius succeeded as chief librarian (Zenodotus, the first to hold that position; Erastothenes was Apollonios’ successor), the names of the contemporary royalty of Alexandria, and some confused and inaccurate dates. Expanded biography using more modern sources and translations, and added brief discussion of the Argonautica itself. Tried to use more accurate spelling of names.

What else would improve this article – more description of his non-Argonautika work, maybe? Should I split and expand the section on the Argonautika itself? I’d also like at least one other post-1900 translation or commentary, but I don’t know one that’s well-regarded. Aophite 06:43, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
