Alexander The Great : Selections from Arrian, Diodorus, Plutarch, and Quintus Curtius Hardback

Edited by James Romm

Hardback

Description

Comprising relevant selections from the four ancient writers whose portraits of Alexander the Great still survive--Arrian, Diodorus, Plutarch, and Quintus Curtius--this volume provides a complete narrative of the important events in Alexander's life.

The Introduction sets these works in historical context, stretching from the conclusion of the Peloponnesian War through Alexander's conquest of Asia, and provides an assessment of Alexander's historical importance as well as a survey of the central controversies surrounding his personality, aims and intentions.

This edition includes a timeline, maps, a bibliography, a glossary, and an index.
