Arrian

as; Egypt, Persia, and India; the nickname Alexander the Great. In “Arrian on the character of Alexander of Macedon,” Arrian proclaimed that Alexander manifested great physical beauty, an arrogant personality, keen intellect, and outstanding military tactics. In Conquest and Empire: The reign of Alexander the Great, A.B. Bosworth describes Alexander with the same characteristics as Arrian confirming majority of the facts Arrian stated in the “Source from the Past”. However, Bosworth disputes Arrian’s

Flavius Arrianus Xenophon, also known as Arrian, author of “The Campaigns of Alexander,” is also well known throughout history for his educational connection with philosopher Epictetus. This book was meant to be Arrian’s master piece; his claim to fame. Arrian created “The Campaigns of Alexander,” to depict the life and times of Alexander the Great (July 20, 356-June 10, 323 BC). Today Arrian’s “The Campaigns of Alexander,” is considered one of his greatest pieces of work and is recognized historically

Arrian was glorifying Alexander of Macedon, by calling him fearless, brave, and powerful. In history books Alexander of Macedon was betrayed as strong and intelligent leader, never backing down from his troops. “He must base his criticism on a comprehensive

Both Plutarch and Arrian agree that Alexander has indeed amassed a considerable debt, just with the upkeep of keeping his army functioning. The differences with the two accounts, is basically stated by Plutarch, who admits to using multiple sources for the information he has obtained following Alexander. Arrian, more than likely had used many of the same sources as Plutarch to gather

of danger, of sweeping away their fear by the spectacle of his own fearlessness” (Arrian, Anabasis 7.29) Having studied Alexander’s reign and scrutinised the various great successes he achieved in his short life as king, his “power of inspiring his men” becomes blatently obvious. Thus, even on the rare occasion that Alexander deserves to be criticised there is no doubt that the

In this case, Burke would argue that Arrian did not depict history accurately since Arrian excluded many details in his account. These details can be found in Plutarch and Rufus accounts. With Arrian’s source, the reader does not get a complete understanding of the events that occurred. Alexander is presented by Arrian of not accusing Philtoas, since this would make the heroic leader a bias person. Philotas is written out to be

Arrian clearly states that “Alexander was at a loss” thus introducing the historian to a different Alexander from Plutarch. Arrian introduces the reader to an Alexander that is stubborn, and who is unwilling to leave the knot tied due to wanting to avoid unrest. Similar to Plutarch, Arrian uses Aristobulus as a source. The Arrian source also notes the religious actions of Alexander as the reader is informed about

subjects happy. Arrian further states that other accounts say that Alexander went to the temple so that he could gain Ammon’s approval before founding Alexandria. This would seem plausible since, although there is question whether or not Alexander believed that he was of divine descent, it cannot be doubted that he took worship of the gods very seriously. And he would most certainly want a god of Ammon’s statures approval on something as important as the founding of Alexandria. Later Arrian states that

Alexander the Great is one of the most successful military commanders of all time. Some may attribute Alexander’s success to his inheritance of the great Macedonian kingdom and military from his father, Philip II. Although there is no doubt that this timely inheritance was a key factor in his success, it was his military skills and generalship that gave him the ability to effectively utilize the groundwork laid by his father. In order to fully understand the success of Alexander, we must first
