Arrian Anabasis wrote the Anabasis Alexandri around 150 CE. This
book is the oldest account of Alexanders military campaigns. It is also
based off of now lost eye-witness accounts. The Anabasis Alexandri
helped me understand the military and strategic side of Alexanders
mind that allowed him to be such a success and make such a huge
impact on modern society.

The Library of History was written by Diodorus Siculus, a Greek
historian from Italy. Diodorus books provide information on history for
many years, Alexanders reign included. Having only been alive about
300 years after Alexanders death, the Library of History books are
some of the oldest accounts of history. It has allowed me to see history
in a view of the past.

The Conquests of Alexander the Great was written in 2008. It has
allowed me to have an overview of Alexanders life and his cousins,
Philip, who was sent to live in the city of Thebes to get an education.
Philip was also one of Alexanders later successors. This document
provides information on the victory and reputation Alexander left when
he was killed.
