Apollonides Of Smyrna
Apollonides of Smyrna () was an epigrammatic poet of ancient Greece, who lived in the time of the Roman emperors Augustus and Tiberius. The ''Greek Anthology'' contains upwards of thirty epigrams which bear his name, and which are distinguished for their beautiful simplicity of style as well as of sentiment. The philologist Johann Jakob Reiske was inclined to consider this poet as the same man as Apollonides of Nicaea, and moreover to suppose that the poems in the ''Greek Anthology'' were the productions of two different persons of the name of Apollonides, the one of whom lived in the reign of Augustus and the other in that of Hadrian, but there is no ground for this hypothesis.Jacobs, ''ad Anthol. Graec.'' xiii. p. 854, &c. In the ''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', his name is rendered "Apollodorus of Smyrna", but this is not otherwise found anywhere.

Apollonides Of Sicyon
Apollonides () of Sicyon was a man of ancient Greece who served as an ambassador for Achaea in the 2nd century BCE. When in 186 the great congress was held at Megalopolis, and the Attalid king Eumenes II wished to form an alliance with the Achaeans, and offered them a large sum of money as a present with a view of securing their favor, Apollonides of Sicyon strongly opposed the Achaeans' accepting the money, as something unworthy of them, and which would expose them to the influence of the king. He was supported by some other distinguished Achaeans, and they magnanimously refused accepting the money. At this congress Roman ambassadors also had been present, and after their return, Spartan and Achaean ambassadors went to Rome in 185. Among the latter was Apollonides, who endeavored to explain to the Roman senate the real state of affairs at Sparta, against the Spartan ambassadors, and to vindicate the conduct of Philopoemen and the Achaeans against the charges of the Spartans.

Apollonides (physician)
Apollonides () was the name of a number of physicians of ancient Greece: * Apollonides of Cos *Another Greek physician, who must have lived in the first or second century, as he is said by Galen to have differed from Archigenes respecting the state of the pulse during sleep. No other particulars are known of his history; but he is sometimes confounded with Apollonius of Cyprus, a mistake which has arisen from reading ''Apollonidon'' (Ἀπολλωνίδον) instead of "Apolloniou" (Ἀπολλωνίου) in the passage of Galen where the latter physician is mentioned. He may perhaps be the same person who is mentioned by Artemidorus, and Aëtius of Amida, in which last passage the name is spelled "Apolloniades".Johann Albert Fabricius Johann Albert Fabricius (11 November 1668 – 30 April 1736) was a German classical scholar and bibliographer.

Apollonides (governor Of Argos)
Apollonides () or Apollonidas was governor of Argos in ancient Greece. He was raised to this office by Cassander. In the year 315 BCE, he invaded Arcadia, and got possession of the town of Stymphalus (modern Stymfalia). The majority of the Argives were hostile towards Cassander, and while Apollonides was engaged in Arcadia, they invited Alexander, the son of Polyperchon, and promised to surrender their town to him. But Alexander was not quick enough, and Apollonides, who seems to have been informed of the plan, suddenly returned to Argos. About 500 senators were at the time assembled in the '' prytaneum'': Apollonides had all the doors of the house well guarded, that none of them might escape, and then set fire to it, so that all perished in the flames. The other Argives who had taken part in the conspiracy were partly exiled and partly put to death.Diodorus Siculus, ''Bibliotheca historica ''Bibliotheca historica'' (, ) is a work of Universal history (genre), universal histo ...

Apollonides (philosopher)
Apollonides (fl. 46 BC) was a Stoic philosopher. He was a friend and companion of Cato the Younger. The sole record of Apollonides is within Plutarch's account of Cato the Younger in ''Parallel Lives''. From this account, there is evidence that after the Battle of Thapsus, Apollonides was present with Cato at Utica. During this time, Cato ordered a young man named Statyllius to leave Utica. When Statyllius refused, Cato appointed Apollonides and Demetrius the Peripatetic to "reduce this man's swollen pride and restore him to conformity with his best interests." When Cato later inquired if Statyllius was sent off, Apollonides responded: In preparation for his suicide Suicide is the act of intentionally causing one's own death. Risk factors for suicide include mental disorders, physical disorders, and substance abuse.
