    Este artículo se centra en los testimonios griegos y romanos sobre Apolonio de Rodas, con el fin de aclarar lo que los antiguos sabían sobre el poeta de Argonautica. Al analizar un número notable de autores, se descubre que los escritores antiguos se refieren rara vez a la vida de Apolonio o a la composición del poema. Más bien parece haberles interesado no solo las referencias a las leyendas de los Argonautas que contenía el poema acreditado, sino también las obras eruditas que no se han conservado (en particular, las κτίσεις). Algunos autores (el tratado De lo Sublime de Dionisio Longino, Quintiliano, Frontón, Gelio, Macrobio y Servio) mencionaron también a Apolonio en pasajes relacionados con cuestiones literarias y útiles para hacerse una idea de algunos aspectos de la recepción antigua del poema.

Some authors also (Dionysius Longinus' On the Sublime, Quintilian, Fronto, Gellius, Macrobius and Servius) mentioned Apollonius in passages concerning literary questions and useful to get an idea of some aspects of ancient reception of the poem.
