Arrian/Curcio on the internet?

[dean]

Am very interested to know if anyone knows of any website where I can find fragments or a complete version of Arrian's or Curcio's writing.
Cheers!
Dean.

It depends on what you are looking for. There is a site called "Ancient History Sourcebook" (I think) run by some American academic which has some quotes. However, would you not find it easier just to buy copies of the books? That way you get a full translation of the entire work AND you don't run the risk of getting a bad translation without realising it.When you say Curcio I assume you mean Curtius?All the bestMarcus

Here are two sites with works of ancient writers. If you have anything additional please post it in the Forum. http://classics.mit.edu/Browse/http://w ... ook07.html

The full text of Arrian's Indica is available at: http://www.und.ac.za/und/classics/india/arrian.htmThere is a Latin-only text of Curtius (based on the Teubner) at:http://www.ukans.edu/history/index/euro ... me.htmland a slightly different version at:http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/6 ... tmlThere's also a Latin copy of Justin's quite execrable "epitome" of Pompeius Trogus's Phillipic History at:http://www.gmu.edu/departments/fld/CLAS ... in.htmlHis highly-unreliable account of Alexander's life covers Libers XI and XII.The Loeb English translation of Book 17 of Diodorus Siculus' Library is, of course, available through the Perseus Project at:http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/pt ... c=17.1.1In addition, I have just posted a version of the Dryden English translation of Plutarch's Life of Alexander at:http://www.starkrealities.com/plutarcha ... htmlUnlike all the other copies of the Dryden text I've seen on the Web, this version includes chapter numbers. (I had to make two small changes to the text -- both of which consisted of breaking a long sentence into two shorter ones -- in order to accomodate the standard chapterization. Neither change has any effect on the underlying meaning of the respective passages.)I trust you will find this information useful.

Dear Marcus,
I would love to be able to buy the books unfortunately
where I live, in the Canaries, there are few English books to buy, nevermind classics dating back so long ago- and thankyou for letting me know the correct spelling of Curtius- I've only ever seen the name in its Spanish form.
Regards Dean.
