'''{{Style S-Small capitals|Athenagoras}}'''. Christian apologist and philosopher of the 2nd century {{Style S-Small capitals|a.d}}., believed to have been a native of Athens. His principal work is the ''Apology'' (text in Migne, ''PCC'', Ser. Gr.-Lat., Vol. VI; Engl. tr. in ''ANF'') addressed to the Emperors Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Commodus, in which he refutes a number of accusations against the Christians. He also wrote a discourse on the resurrection of the body. His theology is strongly tinged with Platonism.
