A comprehensive picture of the life and work of a major figure
among the Greek-speaking authors of the Roman Empire. Arrian is our
most reliable source for Alexander the Great and the author of
three other major historical works and a number of shorter essays
and treatises. This, the first book-length study of Arrian in
English in this century, makes a valuable contribution to our
understanding of Greek historiography and of the intellectual life
of the second century A.D.
Originally published in 1980.
