"But there, too, is Apollodorus, the alabarch of the Jews, and the heavy money-bag Archias " "Why look at them!" cried the younger mime. "It's far better worth while to stretch your neck for those farther in front. They are genuine friends of the Muses the poets Theocritus and Zenodotus."
It redounded greatly to the honor of Apollodorus that he should be privileged to shelter under his roof the sage Gamaliel and the famous son of so great a father, and in his hours of leisure he loved to occupy himself with learned subjects, so he had done his utmost to make their stay in his house in every way agreeable to them.
She snatched the deer-skin from her shoulders, flourished it round and round in the air above her tangled black hair, and bellowed furiously: "Tear him in pieces!" "In pieces, with your teeth!" roared a drunken Maenad who, like most of the mob that had collected, knew nothing whatever of the popular grudge against Apollodorus and his house. But words had already begun to be followed by deeds.
To him, if to any one, would she give her hand, and she had explained herself to this effect to her father when he informed her of Ben Jochai's suit, and Apollodorus, who had lost his wife several years before, had neither the wish nor the power to put any pressure on his pretty darling.
"No, Father," exclaimed Apollodorus eagerly. "The reverse is the case. In our hearts we are Jews but we wear the garments of Greeks." "Why your name is Apollodorus the gift of Apollo." "A name chosen only to distinguish me from others. Who would ever enquire into the meaning of a name if it sounds well." "You, everybody who is not devoid of sense," cried the Rabbi.
Apollodorus, however, shook his head from time to time at his speech and frequently met him with a brief contradiction. It was easy to see that what he was listening to touched him painfully, and that the two diametrically different men were fighting a battle which could never lead to any satisfactory issue.
But no counterfeit can harm it; and, Adonis, it is incompatible with smoking in a lady's face, even if she acquiesces. Apollodorus came in the other morning and announced to the Easy Chair that it had been made by common consent arbiter of a dispute in a circle of young men.
At some distance is a temple to Faustina, a monument of the blind weakness of Marcus Aurelius; a temple to Venus which, in the time of the republic, was consecrated to Pallas and farther on, the ruins of a temple dedicated to the Sun and Moon, built by the Emperor Adrian, who was jealous of Apollodorus, the famous Grecian architect, and put him to death for having found fault with the proportions of his edifice.
Then turning again to Apollodorus he continued: "The oppressors in Israel have set up idols in our holy places, and strive again to force the people to bow down to them; but rather shall our back be broken than we will bend the knee or submit!" "You are meditating another revolt?" asked the Alexandrian anxiously. "Answer me have you heard the name of Bar Kochba?"
But the condition of honest women in his day did not permit of the freedom of action and fencing dialectic of a Celimene, and consequently it is below our mark of pure Comedy. Sainte-Beuve conjures up the ghost of Menander, saying: For the love of me love Terence. Of the six comedies of Terence, four are derived from Menander; two, the Hecyra and the Phormio, from Apollodorus.
