Abstract: Apion was a person with broad interest, but he also liked promoting himself, as evidenced from his love for his originality. He seemed to imply that he was the only person who understood or could explain things. He provided some distorted views on the origins of Sabbath, and he also claimed that Jews had annual cannibalism.
