Cassius Maximus Tyrius ( Maxime de Tyr ) ( Μάξιμος Τύριος ), was a philosphe and Greek Rhéteur, at the time of the last emperors Antonins. It came to Rome under the reign from Commode.

One presented it like a Platonic philosopher, but one could not thus reduce his thought. " He believed in a supreme and invisible god, the divinity of the heart and the Démons, instruments of the Providence. " (Large Larousse of XIXe S.)

Work

Maxime de Tyr is the author of 41 essays which relate to varied subjects. Thus, here how he speaks about the Grue in the 40ème:

Cranes per aestatem ex Aegypto surgentes, extensis alis, velut quibusdam velis, per aërem feruntur recta in Scythiam terram. Animal Hoc quod tiny decorae formae numbers implet, cui scilicet habitior is to be windy, longissimum collum, will posteriora leuissima, alae parum fultae, dispacta will membra, in volatu fluitare videtur instar nauis, quam undae agitating and impellunt. Hoc intelligens grus, siue sentiens, siue etiam experta: not handle volatui credit, quam lapidem rostro susceperit, firmamentum videlicet vacillaturi volatus, custodiamque salutis .
