Abstract

This paper focuses on Greek and Roman testimonies on Apollonius of Rhodes in order to clarify what the Ancients knew about the poet of Argonautica. By analysing a representative number of authors we find out that ancient writers rarely refer to Apollonius' life or to the composition of the poem. What rather seems to have interested them was not only the references to the Argonauts legends which the authoritative poem contained but also the not survived erudite works (in particular the κτίσεις). Some authorsalso (Dionysius Longinus' On the Sublime, Quintilian, Fronto, Gellius, Macrobius and Servius) mentioned Apollonius in passages concerning literary questions and useful to get an idea of some aspects of ancient reception of the poem.
