Una historia de las aventuras y conquistas de Alejandro Magno. Arriano vivió siglos después del fallecimiento del rey macedonio, pero sin embargo se basó fuentes directas para elaborar esta historia, hoy día perdidas, por lo que supone la mejor fuente para acercarnos a obras ya perdidas, como Tolomeo. Arriano era un político y militar greco-romano por eso las descripciones de las disposiciones previas a las batallas, los mandos, las divisiones y el desarrollo de las batallas es muy detallado. Es una de las mejores fuentes para saber sobre la vida de Alejandro.

A much praised and valuable account of the life of Alexander the Great, it is based on the writings of Ptolemy I and Aristobulus, two of Alexander's generals. He modeled the work on Anabasis of Xenophon. Arrian died at an advanced age during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
