Our knowledge of Alexander the Great is derived from the widely
varying accounts of five authors who wrote three and more centuries
after his death. The value of each account can be determined in
detail only by discovering the source from which it drew, section
by section, whether from a contemporary document, a memoir by a
companion of Alexander, a hostile critique or a romanticizing
narrative. In this book the three earliest accounts are studied in
depth, and it becomes apparent that each author used more than one
source, and that only occasionally did any two of them or all three
use the same source for an incident or a series of incidents. This
book will be of value to ancient historians and of interest also to
those studying Alexander the Great.
