About “Against Apion”

Against Apion is a polemical work written by Flavius Josephus, a Roman-Jewish historian and courtier to the Flavian emperors. The text was composed as a defense of Judaism in response to criticisms from Apion, a Hellenized Egyptian grammarian and sophist. Josephus aimed to counter Apion’s negative portrayals of Jewish customs and history. The work is dated to after 94 CE. It reflects Josephus’s efforts to justify Jewish traditions and challenge Greek perceptions of Judaism. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
