Opis

Ernst Badian's work on Alexander, which began to appear almost fifty years ago, revolutionized Alexander studies. Ernst Badian has continued to contribute significantly to our understanding of Alexander and the period, and this anthology brings together for the first time many of his important publications.

Recenzje

"Lucidly written, incisively argued, but still accessible to students, these papers are ancient history at its best. A mandatory companion to biographies of Alexander. Summing Up: Essential." 

- S. M. Burstein, emeritus, California State University, Los Angeles, in CHOICE
