Sinopsis

The Campaigns of Alexander stands as a seminal work in the annals of classical literature, providing the most comprehensive account of Alexander the GreatâÇÖs monumental campaigns to conquer the Persian Empire from 336 to 323 BC. Composed in the second century AD during Emperor HadrianâÇÖs reign, this historical narrative, complete in seven books, delves into the military strategies and exploits of Alexander, starting from his ascension to the Macedonian throne.áArrian aimed to provide a meticulous military history, drawing primarily from the contemporary but now-lost accounts of Ptolemy and Aristobulus, and for the latter parts, from Nearchus. His narrative seeks to challenge and correct the prevailing 'Vulgate' version of AlexanderâÇÖs reign, thereby offering a more nuanced and perhaps more accurate portrayal of the legendary conquerorâÇÖs campaigns. Through The Campaigns of Alexander, Arrian not only commemorates AlexanderâÇÖs military genius but also contributes significantly to the understanding of ancient historiography, making his work an invaluable resource for historians and classical scholars alike.áIncluded are more than 5,000 indexed page numbers and almost 1,000 footnotes. This case laminate collectorâÇÖs edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.áá
