Christopher P. Jones is George Martin Lane Professor of the Classics and of History, Emeritus, at Harvard University.

Jones has produced a superlative edition... The text is judicious and the translation stylishly captures the sophist’s rhetorical range. It is based on, but betters, [his] abridged translation for Penguin Classics, published in 1970. It is a good read in its own right: no mean feat. Excellent introductory material and maps help chart Apollonius’s imaginary journey. He may no longer be worshipped (except in the wackier corners of cyberspace), but nonetheless we can rightly say: Apollonius Lives!
