Arrian

Lucius Flavius Arrianus Xenophon , known as Arrian, was a Greek historian, public servant, military commander, and philosopher in the 2nd-century Roman period.

He wrote primarily in Attic Greek, with some works in other dialects.

Arrian is best known for his "Anabasis of Alexander," considered one of the most reliable sources on Alexander the Great's campaigns.

He is credited with pioneering a military-focused approach to historical writing.

Arrian's other notable works include "Discourses of Epictetus" and "Indica." His writings have been influential in shaping our understanding of ancient history, particularly Alexander's conquests and the Hellenistic period.
