Apollonides (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλωνίδης) of Sicyon was a man of ancient Greece who served as an ambassador for Achaea in the 2nd century BCE. When in 186 the great congress was held at Megalopolis, and the Attalid king Eumenes II wished to form an alliance with the Achaeans, and offered them a large sum of money as a present with a view of securing their favor, Apollonides of Sicyon strongly opposed the Achaeans' accepting the money, as something unworthy of them, and which would expose them to the influence of the king. He was supported by some other distinguished Achaeans, and they magnanimously refused accepting the money.

  • Apol·lònides de Sició (en llatí Apollonides, en grec Ἀπολλωνίδης), fou un dirigent de la Lliga Aquea el 186 aC quan es feia el gran congrés a Megalòpolis en el que el rei Èumenes II de Pèrgam buscava l'aliança amb la Lliga Aquea a la qual va donar una gran quantitat de diners en prova de bona voluntat i per assegurar-se el seu suport. Apol·lònides es va oposar a acceptar els diners "com a cosa indigna d'ells", i que a més els deixava en mans del rei. Va tenir el suport d'alguns distingits membres de la Lliga, que finalment van rebutjar els diners. En aquest congrés també hi havia ambaixadors romans i després del seu retorn a Roma, els ambaixadors d'Esparta i la Lliga Aquea es van dirigir a la República el 185 aC. Entre aquests ambaixadors s'hi trobava Apol·lònides, que va intentar explicar al senat romà quina era la situació a Esparta, i es va enfrontar amb els ambaixadors espartans per reivindicar les accions de Filopemen i els aqueus en aquell país. Quan va esclatar la guerra entre Perseu de Macedònia i Roma, va aconsellar de no oposar-se obertament als romans. (ca)

At this congress Roman ambassadors also had been present, and after their return, Spartan and Achaean ambassadors went to Rome in 185. Among the latter was Apollonides, who endeavored to explain to the Roman senate the real state of affairs at Sparta, against the Spartan ambassadors, and to vindicate the conduct of Philopoemen and the Achaeans against the charges of the Spartans. At the outbreak of the war between the Romans and Perseus of Macedon, Apollonides advised his countrymen not to oppose the Romans openly, but at the same time he censured severely those who were for throwing themselves into their hands altogether.
