Authors and Documents 75<br />

It will suffice to mention three other late Greek writers<br />

with the principal work <strong>of</strong> each. Arrian <strong>of</strong> Nicomedia<br />

wrote the Anabasis <strong>of</strong> Alexander, a military narrative<br />

drawn from <strong>source</strong>s contemporary with the great conqueror.<br />

At nearly the same time Pausanias composed his Guide to<br />

Greece, which treats <strong>of</strong> the archaeology, myths, and to some<br />

extent the <strong>history</strong> <strong>of</strong> that country.<br />

Sometime afterward<br />

Diogenes Laertius wrote his Lives <strong>of</strong> the Philosophers, an<br />

inaccurate work though full <strong>of</strong> useful information. <strong>The</strong><br />

Greek authors who treat mainly <strong>of</strong> Roman affairs will<br />

be mentioned in a later chapter.<br />
