I was not previously aware that there is a new edition of Ian Worthington's "Alexander the Great: A Reader", but have just read the BMCR review of it.
I thought the first edition was a bit limited, in that so many of the articles were rather old and therefore, in some cases, a bit dated. It appears that there is more recent material in this new edition, and therefore it might, in fact, be a much better resource.
All the best

Re: New Edition of Worthington's "Sources" book
Read the review too, would certainly be useful for students but there seems to be only one translated (from a modern language) and that is where I would like some help...German is not one of my languages and there are so many papers in German! 
When you think about, it free-choice is the only possible option.

Re: New Edition of Worthington's "Sources" book
Totally agree on that score, Agesilaos. I failed my German O-Level, and nowadays the only German I use is that associated with teaching Nazi Germany. I don't think that things like Geheime Staatspolizei, Gauleiter and Schutzstaffeln would help very much with reading academic papers on Alexander the Great!agesilaos wrote:Read the review too, would certainly be useful for students but there seems to be only one translated (from a modern language) and that is where I would like some help...German is not one of my languages and there are so many papers in German!
