This esoteric biography by G. R. S. Mead explores the life and teachings of Apollonius of Tyana, a 1st-century Greek philosopher, mystic, and wonder-worker often compared to Jesus in early Christian and occult traditions. Drawing from ancient sources and imbuing them with Theosophical insight, Mead presents Apollonius as a spiritual master who traveled widely across the ancient world, teaching wisdom, practicing healing, and embodying a path of divine knowledge. The book delves into his philosophical background, miraculous deeds, and alleged encounters with supernatural beings, offering a compelling portrait of a figure revered in Neo-Pythagorean and esoteric thought. Mead frames Apollonius as an exemplar of the spiritually enlightened sage—one whose life bridges mysticism, philosophy, and sacred mission in the classical age.
