Paperback. Zustand: Good. 'He was a man like no other man has ever been'So Arrian sums up the career of Alexander the Great of Macedon (356-323 BC), who in twelve years that changed the world led his army in conquest of a vast empire extending from the Danube to the rivers of the Punjab, from Egypt to Uzbekistan, and died in Babylon at the age of 32 with further ambitions unfulfilled.Arrian (c. 86-161 AD), a Greek man of letters who had experience of military command and of the highest political office in both Rome and Athens, set out to write the definitive account of Alexander's life and campaigns, published as the Anabasis and its later companion piece the Indica .

Hardback. Zustand: Good. On the march to greatness.Arrian (Flavius Arrianus), of the period ca. AD 95?175, was a Greek historian and philosopher of Nicomedia in Bithynia. Both a Roman and an Athenian citizen, he was governor of the Roman province of Cappadocia 132?137, and repelled an invasion of the Alani in 134. He retired then to Athens (where he was archon in 148?149) and later to Nicomedia.Arrian?s Anabasis of Alexander in seven books is the best account we have of Alexander?s adult life.

Both works are available in the Loeb edition of Epictetus (LCL 131, 218). The Loeb Classical Library edition of Arrian is in two volumes.…
