Philostratus of Lemnos was more than just a sophist—he was a storyteller who blurred the lines between myth and history. In the 3rd century CE, he lived in the heart of Rome under the patronage of Julia Domna, and his writings celebrated Greek culture in a Roman world.
From his Life of Apollonius of Tyana, which presented a philosopher-sage often compared to Jesus, to his Imagines and Heroicus, Philostratus revived the legends of Greece and preserved them for future generations. His works reveal how ancient people saw their heroes, their gods, and the boundary between philosophy and divine power.
In this video, we dive deep into the life, works, and legacy of Philostratus, exploring how he shaped ancient storytelling and defended Greek wisdom during a time of cultural transformation.
If you enjoy forgotten voices of history, make sure to like, subscribe, and share—because Philostratus proves that sometimes the most powerful truths are told through stories.
