Sinopsis

An exciting series that provides students with direct access to the ancient world by offering new translations of extracts from its key texts. Alexander the Great famously brought the mighty Persian Empire's two-hundred year rule to an end, but the figure behind this phenomenon often eludes us.

Notes provide helpful contextual information for these excerpts while questions challenge readers to embark on their own investigations of this fascinating individual, who continues to rival all others in historical significance.

Críticas

"Cheshire has produced a fine book. ...very easily see using this book for a freshman seminar or a western civilization class that had Alexander as one of its main topics." --BMCR
