Description
Alexander the Great: The Anabasis and the Indica Alexander the Great's twelve-year reign transformed the world, spanning from the Danube to the Punjab and from Egypt to Uzbekistan. Arrian, a Greek man of letters and military commander, wrote the definitive account of Alexander's life and campaigns, known as the Anabasis. This engaging translation brings Arrian's work to life, offering a compelling narrative of an exceptional leader. The Anabasis is accompanied by Arrian's companion piece, the Indica, which describes the voyage of Alexander's fleet from south India to the Persian Gulf. The volume includes a detailed introduction, notes, and appendices that provide historical context and analysis. With its extensive notes, maps, and site plans, this edition offers a comprehensive understanding of Alexander's life and campaigns.
