Focusing on military exploits, Arrian's work provides a detailed account of Alexander the Great's campaigns, drawing from lost contemporary sources and the biography by Ptolemy, a close associate of Alexander. Written in the 2nd Century, it stands out as a critical historical document, reflecting Arrian's aim to emulate Xenophon while offering insights into the strategies and battles that defined Alexander's conquests. The text largely omits Alexander's political ideologies and personal life, concentrating instead on his achievements as a military leader.
