quadratus of athens

Quadratus of Athens was a Christian apologist who presented his defense of Christianity to Hadrian (ruled 117 - 138 CE) while the emperor was in Athens being initiated into the Eleusinian Mysteries. Another apologist, Aristides, presented a similar work. Eusebius had copies of both essays. Because he was bishop of Athens after Publius, Quadratus is sometimes figured among the Apostolic Fathers. Eusebius called him a "man of understanding and of Apostolic faith." and Jerome in Viri illustrissimi intensified the apostolic connection, calling him "disciple of the apostles," though no claim is made in the brief surviving fragment of the Apology that he was personally in touch with any of the Apostles.
