A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mahapty. An I rish scholar. Bom at Chapponnaire, Switzer Umdi February 26, 1839. Professor of History in the University of Dublin. Author of Social Life in Greece, Rambles and Studies in Greece, Greek Life and Thought, Greece under Roman Sway, History of Greek Classical Literature, The Empire of the Ptolemies. No other writer of modem times is so thoroughly conversant with the life, thought, and conditions of A ndent Greece, and none has portrayed them in literature more lucidly and entertainingly. (F rom Gassz Lm and Tbought )ALEXANDER THE GREAT These was no king throughout all the Eastern world in the third century B.C. who did not set before him Alexander as the ideal of what a monarch ought to be. His transcendent figure so dominates the imagination of his own and the following age, that from studying his character we can draw all the materials for the present chapter. For this purpose the brilliant sketch of Plutarch, who explicitly professes to write the life and not the history of the king, is on the whole more instructive than the detailed chronicle of A rrian. From both we draw much that is doubtful and even fabulous, but much also which is certain and of unparalleled interest, as giving us a picture of the most extraordinary man that ever lived.
