Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Actions of Alexander the Great The con uered and the conquerors were united by Cyrus to 's new empire, and 'became Persian sub: jects under Cambyses and Darius. The Ionians revolted from the latter, but were subdued after an unavailing struggle. At the Commencement of the revolt, the Athenians sent a fleet to aid their colo nists. The combined Athenian and Ionian forces marched to Sardes, and burned the Lydian capital. This rash act drew on Athens and 'on Greece the whole vengeance of the Persian monarchs. After a long and deadly contest, the Greeks lled the invaders, pursued them into Asia, and or a liberated their Asiatic fellow-countrymen. But their own civil 'contests diverted their attention from foreign objects, and their splendid victories had no farther result.

Book Synopsis The Life of Alexander the Great by : Plutarch
Download or read book The Life of Alexander the Great written by Plutarch and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2004-04-13 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 336 b.c. Philip of Macedonia was assassinated and his twenty-year-old son, Alexander, inherited his kingdom. Immediately quelling rebellion, Alexander extended his father’s empire through-out the Middle East and into parts of Asia, fulfilling the soothsayer Aristander’s prediction that the new king “should perform acts so important and glorious as would make the poets and musicians of future ages labour and sweat to describe and celebrate him.” The Life of Alexander the Great is one of the first surviving attempts to memorialize the achievements of this legendary king, remembered today as the greatest military genius of all time. This exclusive Modern Library edition, excerpted from Plutarch’s Lives, is a riveting tale of honor, power, scandal, and bravery written by the most eminent biographer of the ancient world.

Book Synopsis Alexander the Great by : Philip Freeman
Download or read book Alexander the Great written by Philip Freeman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first authoritative biography of Alexander the Great written for a general audience in a generation, classicist and historian Philip Freeman tells the remarkable life of the great conqueror. The celebrated Macedonian king has been one of the most enduring figures in history. He was a general of such skill and renown that for two thousand years other great leaders studied his strategy and tactics, from Hannibal to Napoleon, with countless more in between. He flashed across the sky of history like a comet, glowing brightly and burning out quickly: crowned at age nineteen, dead by thirty-two. He established the greatest empire of the ancient world; Greek coins and statues are found as far east as Afghanistan. Our interest in him has never faded. Alexander was born into the royal family of Macedonia, the kingdom that would soon rule over Greece. Tutored as a boy by Aristotle, Alexander had an inquisitive mind that would serve him well when he faced formidable obstacles during his military campaigns. Shortly after taking command of the army, he launched an invasion of the Persian empire, and continued his conquests as far south as the deserts of Egypt and as far east as the mountains of present-day Pakistan and the plains of India. Alexander spent nearly all his adult life away from his homeland, and he and his men helped spread the Greek language throughout western Asia, where it would become the lingua franca of the ancient world. Within a short time after Alexander’s death in Baghdad, his empire began to fracture. Best known among his successors are the Ptolemies of Egypt, whose empire lasted until Cleopatra. In his lively and authoritative biography of Alexander, classical scholar and historian Philip Freeman describes Alexander’s astonishing achievements and provides insight into the mercurial character of the great conqueror. Alexander could be petty and magnanimous, cruel and merciful, impulsive and farsighted. Above all, he was ferociously, intensely competitive and could not tolerate losing—which he rarely did. As Freeman explains, without Alexander, the influence of Greece on the ancient world would surely not have been as great as it was, even if his motivation was not to spread Greek culture for beneficial purposes but instead to unify his empire. Only a handful of people have influenced history as Alexander did, which is why he continues to fascinate us.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From the History of Alexander the Great IN the preparation of this little book I have borne constantly in mind the purpose of the Series of which it forms a part, as stated by Mr. Collar in the Preface to his edition of the Seventh Book of Virgil's Aeneid and I have endeavored to conform both to the principles there laid down and to the example set by his work itself. If my notes, as now completed, are somewhat more numerous than Mr. Collar's, it is partly because the editors-in-chief of the Series requested me to keep in view the wants of beginners, and partly because the peculiar phrases and constructions of Quintus Curtius frequently present difficulties even to students who have already made some acquaintance with Latin prose through Caesar or Nepos. As the book is intended mainly for those who have had but limited experience in reading continuous Latin narrative, I have tried to give in the notes all reasonable help not inconsistent with the demand for due diligence and effort on the part of the learner. I have, however. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
