Summary The sources of the history of Alexander the Great, collected for the first time in Greek literature, with parallel translation and philological commentary. The excerpts of the lost works of 42 historians who wrote exclusively about the figure of the Macedonian general - either contemporaries and participants in the Asian campaign or later writers (up to the Roman era), whose texts formed the basis of the known biographies of Alexander the Great by Arrian, Plutarch, Diodorus, etc.

A complete collection of the necessary material for source criticism, with accompanying biographical and bibliographical notes for each author, enlightening tables, and detailed indexes - the culmination of thirty years of work by Ierko and Stanti R. Apostolidis on the Hellenistic period. A valuable aid for the historical researcher and academic research and teaching.
