Paperback. Zustand: Gut. XIV, 274 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�hrigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband leicht berieben, minimale Randl�suren, sonst ein gutes Exemplar / binding slightly rubbed, minimal edge wear, otherwise a good copy. - This volume presents a translation, with commentary, of a major Roman source on the end of the reign of Alexander the Cheat. Book 10 of Curtius Rufuss Histories covers the dramatic events after Alexanders return from India, with the emphasis on a reign of terror and a mutiny by his Macedonian troops. Curtius then provides the fullest narrative of the turmoil in Babylon after Alexanders death.The natural heirs were a mentally challenged half-brother, and Alexanders unborn child by his Asian bride Roxane, if, as happened, she gave birth to a son.The power struggle that began in Babylon ushered in a new period in Creek history, the Hellenistic age. The Introduction establishes a profile of Curtius Rufus, and his agenda as a historian. Writing probably in the first century AD, he was influenced, if not constrained, by his own experience of life under an autocracyfor example, he praises the new emperor, whose accession has narrowly averted, or decisively halted, civil war. Both the Introduction and the following translation and commentary are designed for the reader without Latin.The Commentary provides detailed analysis of the historical events of the crucial period 325323 bc covered by Curtius, and also tries to get behind the surface level of meaning to show how he intended his history to be a text for his time. / Contents List of Abbreviations Introduction 1.

Paperback. Zustand: New. This book presents a translation, with commentary, of a major Roman source on the end of the reign of Alexander the Great. Book 10 of Curtius' Histories covers the reign of terror and mutiny that followed upon Alexander's return from India; and offers the fullest account of the power struggle that began in Babylon immediately after his death. The Introduction establishes a profile of Curtius Rufus (quite probably a Roman Senator of the first century AD), and his agenda as a historian. John Yardley's translation and the commentary are designed for the reader without Latin. The Commentary provides detailed analysis of the historical events of the crucial period 325-3 BC covered by Curtius, and also tries to get behind the surface level of meaning to show how Curtius intended his history to be a text for his time. Curtius' text is also examined as a literary achievement in its own right. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers LU-9780199557639
