01. Alexander The Great - Conqueror Or Tyrant Alexander The Great And The Macedonian (More) Alexander The Great And The Macedonian Empire
Alexander's impact is so wide-ranging. ... He is an epitome, perhaps
the best example of how a single individual, for all of the restrictions
of his generation, can rapidly, fundamentally, and irrevocably change
his world.
Alexander the Great (b. 356 B.C.; r. 336--323 B.C.): Argead king of
Macedon, son of Philip II. The greatest of generals, he secured Macedon,
control over the Greek league, and in 334--324 B.C., Alexander conquered
the Persian empire, and transformed the face of the ancient world. .
Arrian (c. 86--146 A.D.):Lucius Flavius Arrianus Xenophon. Historian
and Roman senator. He wrote in Greek the Anabasis or Asian expedition of
Alexander the Great based on the account of King Ptolemy I and other eye
witness histories.
Curtius Rufus: Roman historian writing in Latin during the reigns of
Claudius or Vespasian. Composed a history of Alexander in ten books of
which only last eight survive. The work is noted for its delight in exotica.
Diodorus Siculus (c. 90--30 B.C.): Wrote a universal history in 40 books
down to the Gallic Wars of Julius Caesar. His narrative is the prime source
on the reign of Philip II.
Plutarch of Chaeronea: (c. 46--120 A.D.): Philosopher and biographer, his
work is an invaluable source for the leading fi gures of the 4th century B.C. as
well as a wealth of information on the Hellenistic world.
No contemporary account of Alexander the Great, has survived,
and it is doubtful an objective narrative of Alexander ever existed.
Drawing on older contemporary accounts, Greek intellectuals
Arrian and Plutarch, penned two of the four surviving sources. Arrian
wrote the Anabasis of Alexander the Great based on the account of Ptolemy,
companion of Alexander. Arrian gives, in general a favorable account
of Alexander the Great, who is to be compared to Arrian's patron and
Emperor Trajan.
Plutarch wrote a biography of Alexander, concentrating on details of
Alexander's character rather than providing a historical narrative because he
sought to draw moral lessons from noble Greeks and Romans. Plutarch, also
in part drew on the history of Ptolemy, and so many details about war and
politics are consistent with Arrian's version. Plutarch, however, drew on other
sources, notably philosophical writers hostile to Alexander who was perceived
as a tyrant corrupted by power and wine, and so a slave to his passions.
Writing in Latin in the 1st century A.D., Curtius Rufus delighted in exotic
details and interpreted Alexander through the prism of Stoicism. Diodorus
Siculus, writing in c. 50 B.C., devoted an entire book of his universal history
to Alexander. Diodorus errs in military details, but he presents many incidents
from the perspective of the Greeks or King Darius III of Persia. Perceptions
of the career and impact of Alexander, who is arguably the best known
secular fi gure history, have been even more varied. Greeks of Alexander's
day resented the youthful conqueror who stripped their cities of freedom and
autonomy. Later Greek writers saw Alexander as ushering in an era of great
kings, and they too were critical of the Macedonian king's policies. Roman
generals and emperors saw Alexander as a model. (Less)
