The new research shows that Cleitarchus penned his historical masterpiece in Alexandria around 280BC, nearly half a century after Alexander's death. It reveals for the first time that Cleitarchus wrote one book for each year of Alexander's reign, that he had a pile of memoirs of Alexander's friends and officers before him as he worked and that he was influenced by the cynical philosophers to find wry and ironical angles on the monumental deeds of the king. In its scope and depth the new research amounts to an archaeology of the mind of Cleitarchus. (PRWeb Apr 6, 2009)
