Apollonios de Rhodes est célébré pour son poème épique, les Argonautiques, qui relate le mythe de Jason et la quête de la Toison d'Or par les Argonautes. Cette œuvre est un rare exemple survivant du genre épique, remarquable par son innovation et son influence durable. Ayant servi comme érudit et bibliothécaire à Alexandrie, ses autres poèmes, connus seulement par fragments, explorèrent les mythes fondateurs de diverses cités. Autrefois rejeté comme une simple imitation d'Homère, la poésie d'Apollonios est aujourd'hui reconnue pour ses qualités hellénistiques singulières et sa profondeur érudite.

Commentaire historique et mathématique, édition et traduction du texte arabe
The treatise De Rationis Sectione by Apollonius of Perge, which deals with a unique and difficult problem, is a remarkable, complex example of the study of the necessary pre-conditions for the existence of a solution. This volume presents the editio princeps of the text, which has only survived in an Arabic version. It is made accessible in the form of a French translation and a commentary that reveals the mechanisms of Apollonius’ difficult proof, and draws particular attention to its conceptual innovations.
