Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arrian's History of Alexander's Expedition, Vol. 2 of 2: Translated From the Greek; With Notes Historical, Geographical, and Critical At Curtius tells us, lib. Viii. Cap. 10, 12, that the inhabitants affirmed Bacchus to be the founder of their city; and he indeed built it at the foot of mount Meros: from the name of which aog, femur. A thigh, ' the Grecians feigned, that Bacchus was shut up in the thigh of Jupiter, because he was brought up on this mountain. - l love an author dearly who goes thoroughs stitch with his work, and does not stumble at straws. Arrian has touched this matter tenderly; and when he comes to confute it afterwards, chooses rather to do it in another's words than his own but Curtius tells us, point-blank, it is every tittle true. To prove the truth thereof, we need only ask, whether this Bacc was an Eastern or Western deity I he was an Indian god, how came he by his name? Dionysus and Bacchus are Greek names, and could never belong originally to a god of that country. If he was a Greek deity, how came he into India? No Gmian having ever travelled so far, before Alexander's time. Besides, how came he to be so well known there, and to conquest India alone, and never to be so much as heard of in all the countries through which he must have marched with his army, from Greece.

Download or read book Alexander the Great written by Arrian and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'He was a man like no other man has ever been' So Arrian sums up the career of Alexander the Great of Macedon (356-323 BC), who in twelve years that changed the world led his army in conquest of a vast empire extending from the Danube to the rivers of the Punjab, from Egypt to Uzbekistan, and died in Babylon at the age of 32 with further ambitions unfulfilled. Arrian (c. 86-161 AD), a Greek man of letters who had experience of military command and of the highest political office in both Rome and Athens, set out to write the definitive account of Alexander's life and campaigns, published as the Anabasis and its later companion piece the Indica . His work is now our prime and most detailed extant source for the history of Alexander, and it is a dramatic story, fast-moving like its main subject, and told with great narrative skill. Arrian admired Alexander and was fascinated by him, but was also alive to his faults: he presents a compelling account of an exceptional leader, brilliant, ruthless, passionate, and complex.

Arrian's History of Alexander's expedition Arrian TO THE KING. Sir, True history, like a faithful mirror, gives princes, as well as private men, an exact representation of the transactions of past ages; but if partiality infatuates the historian, or prejudice overbalances his judgment, his images appear monstrous and unnatural, and we lose the only benefit we hoped to reap from his labours. The story I now presume to lay at your Majesty's feet, is no less than the fall of the vast Persian empire, and the establishment of the Grecian upon its ruins. No period of time was ever more famous: no general ever pushed his conquests so far in so short a time, nor over-run so many countries with so small a force. None had a more numerous race of writers, to recommend his acts to posterity; but the greatest part of their compositions was either panegyric or satire; for none durst write the truth concerning him while he lived, and few seem to have had an inclination to it after his death. These, and the like considerations, moved our author to undertake this History, wherein he has drawn a more natural and lively portraiture of him than any of the rest, and painted his vices, as well as his virtues, in their proper colours. This, added to his judiciousness and impartiality, has gained him so high an esteem in the world, that the greatest princes, in different ages, have deigned him their protection. Hadrian and Antonine, the emperor Sigismond, Alphonsus king of Aragon, and Cosmus the late duke of Tuscany, are instances of this. They all approved and patronized his works; and I flatter thyself, that if the present I now offer foil of your Majesty's acceptance, it must be on account of the unworthiness of him who offers it

Book excerpt: Arrian’s Campaigns of Alexander, widely considered the most authoritative history of the brilliant leader’s great conquests, is the latest addition to the acclaimed Landmark series. After twelve years of hard-fought campaigns, Alexander the Great controlled a vast empire that was bordered by the Adriatic sea to the west and modern-day India to the east. Arrian, himself a military commander, combines his firsthand experience of battle with material from Ptolemy’s memoirs and other ancient sources to compose a singular portrait of Alexander. This vivid and engaging new translation of Arrian will fascinate readers who are interested in classical studies, the history of warfare, and the origins of East–West tensions still swirling in Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan today. Enriched by the series’ trademark comprehensive maps, illustrations, and annotations, and with contributions from the preeminent classical scholars of today, The Landmark Arrian: The Campaigns of Alexander is the definitive edition of this essential work of ancient history.
