Due to a loss in the family, posting will be sporadic this week. I wanted to go into detail about Books 4 and 5 of Arrian’s The Campaigns of Alexander but I may only have time to post on thematic and stylistic points in this section before the book discussion call on September 12.

I constantly mention this and will do so again–I encourage anyone interested in exploring more about Arrian or Alexander to participate in the Reading Odyssey’s book discussion calls.
