About Rhodes
Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands in the southeastern Aegean, off the southwest coast of Asia Minor. In the Hellenistic and Roman periods it was a renowned center of rhetoric, philosophy, and astronomy: the Stoic Panaetius was a native, the Stoic polymath Posidonius (himself born at Apamea) ran his school there, and the astronomers Hipparchus and Geminus worked on the island.
