Curtius Rufus, Histories of Alexander the Great, Book 10, Vol. 10 Book

A truly interesting and easy to read book. While I was already aware of much of the information, by bringing it all together and presenting it the way he does, Chugg has made it so much easier to follow each relationship and places each in their respective position in Alexander's life.

The first sixty-four pages are a concise rendition of Alexander's life, followed by sixty-seven pages given over to his relationship with Hephaistion. Since that was the main reason for my wanting to read the book, I was especially pleased with this. All mentions of Hephaistion are presented together, in that the same occurrence is covered from the perspective of each source, so that you get a much clearer image of Hephaistion and his relationship with Alexander.

Also covered are five women: Barsine (thirteen pages,) Thalestris (nine pages,) Roxane (twenty-one pages,) Stateira and Parysatis (thirteen pages.) Also included is Bagoas (thirteen pages.)
