Apollonius of Chalcedon
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Apollonius (Ancient Greek: Απολλώνιος) of Chalcedon was an ancient Greek Stoic[1] who taught philosophy. He was invited by the Roman emperor Antoninus Pius to come to Rome, for the purpose of instructing his son Marcus Aurelius in philosophy.[2][3][4][5] Aurelius, within his Meditations, writes of Apollonius favourably.[6]
He was also possibly from Chalcis instead of Chalcedon, or, according to Cassius Dio, from Nicomedia.[7]
