The Landmark Arrian The Campaigns of Alexander

Next in the widely praised Landmark series is Arrian’s The Campaigns of Alexander, the most reliable and complete classical text concerning the role of Alexander the Great as a military leader. — — Drawing on Ptolemy’s biography of Alexander and many other sources that did not survive antiquity, Arrian&rsqu... more »o;s portrait of Alexander is unmatched for its accuracy and immediacy. A military commander himself, Arrian had a unique perspective on Alexander, imbued with a level of understanding that only firsthand experience can provide. In the Landmark series’ trademark richly illustrated and annotated style, this edition of The Campaigns of Alexander—in an accessible and authoritative new translation by Pamela Mensch—brings together some of the preeminent classics scholars at work today to create what is certain to be the definitive edition of this essential work of history. With an introduction by Paul Cartledge.
