@ Theoria Apophasis,
From your studies, what is your opinion of the biography of Apollonius of Tyana? The one commissioned by Empress Domna - she hired Philostratus to write the bio. Supposedly, the current existing copies originate from it being saved from the Library of Alexandria.
The bio claims Apollonius went to study with the "Brahman Sages of the Himalayas" whose knowledge were responsible for some of his understandings and his demonstrations of supernatural abilities, etc...?
Took me a while to get some copies from Harvard Press by Conybeare 1913 that didn't cost a fortune. That was quite a while back. Today, it's all online for free. One page Greek the opposite page English. Apparently was widely taught throughout the universities today, hardly anyone knows who he is anymore.
Am watching your videos on the analysis of the original Buddhism.
