Arrian wrote Greek history and philosophy under the Roman Empire, and is best known for the Anabasis of Alexander, a detailed account of Alexander the Great's campaigns from Asia Minor to India. The Indica complements it with material on India and the voyage of Nearchus, while Arrian's Discourses of Epictetus and Enchiridion preserve the teaching of the Stoic philosopher Epictetus. His historical prose is relatively sober and military in focus, drawing on earlier sources he considered reliable. Arrian suits readers of Alexander the Great, ancient military history, Stoicism and classical historical narrative. Read more Less
