I have been reading Arrian's account of Alexander's conquest of Tyre (Book
II of Arrian's History of Alexander and Indica) and am amazed to find it so
different from an account I read about six or seven years ago (or is my
memory really getting that bad?). The problem is, I can't remember where I
read the other account. Do any of you know what other historians of the
hellenistic period (or perhaps a little earlier) wrote an account of this
conquest?
Yes, I know this is outside the topic of BIBLICAL Greek, but it is Greek of
roughly the same period... and I do think reading as much as you can of the
other hellenistic Greek literature is a great idea if you really want to
understand biblical Greek. So, maybe I'm not all that far off-topic :-)
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
