Description: Loeb Classical Library: Anabasis of Alexander and IndicaBy: Arrian The Loeb Classical Library edition of Arrian is in two volumes. With an English translation by P.A. BruntSeries: Loeb Classical LibraryHarvard University PressGreen CoverLeft side in Greek, right side in English1984Condition: Dust jackets have edge wear and discoloration. Some moisture warping on first pages of Volume I. The Anabasis of Alexander was composed by Arrian of Nicomedia in the second century AD, most probably during the reign of Hadrian. The Anabasis (which survives complete in seven books) is a history of the campaigns of Alexander the Great, specifically his conquest of the Persian Empire between 336 and 323 BC.[2] Both the unusual title "Anabasis" (literally "a journey up-country from the sea") and the work's seven-book structure reflect Arrian's emulation (in structure, style, and content) of the Greek historian Xenophon, whose own Anabasis in seven books concerned the earlier campaign "up-country" of Cyrus the Younger in 401 BC.
