Description

The Anabasis of Alexander by Flavius Arrianus is a comprehensive account of Alexander's adult life. Written in seven books, this work provides valuable insights into the life and campaigns of one of history's most famous leaders. Arrian, a Greek historian and philosopher, drew on his own experiences as a governor of Cappadocia to inform his writing. His work was intended to be supplemented by another book, Indica, which described Alexander's voyage to India. Arrian also wrote extensively on the teachings of Epictetus, a Stoic philosopher whose ideas had a significant impact on Western philosophy. This edition of The Anabasis of Alexander is part of the Loeb Classical Library series, and includes two volumes of Arrian's work.
