Flavius Arrianus, b. unknown, d. c.
180
.
Greek historian and philospher. Principal historical work
Anabasis
describes the campaigns of
Alexander the Great
in seven books.
In
philosophy
, he is primarily known as the only source of the teachings of
Epictetus
whose pupil he was and author of the works
Encheiridion
and
Diatribai
based on careful notes taken from Epictetus' lectures. The
Encheiridion
is a manual of
stoic
philosophy as propounded by Epictetus. The
Diatribai
, generally translated as
Discourses
of which four books survive, holds roughly the same relationship to Epictetus' teachings as
Plato
s dialogues do to those of Socrates, except that they are soliloquies.
He served as governor of
Cappadocia
under
Hadrian
and was
Archon
at Athens in
171
.
