Pseudo Callisthenes

Pseudo-Callisthenes is an unknown Egyptian or Greek of Egypt who had to live in Alexandria in ^the second century and ^third century. The historians have called Pseudo-Callisthenes because he wanted to impersonate Callisthenes , contemporary and biographer of Alexander the Great whose reviews were lost. This unknown author lived five centuries after the hero whose exploits he claims to tell.

His work, entitled Alexander Romance , myth-making significantly, does not follow that by far the history of the Macedonian conqueror, but it contains almost all the episodes found in most Greek and Roman historians who started this story, between -200 and 300. This version of the Pseudo-Callisthenes derive most of Legends, Lives, Novels, Stories and Exploits of Alexander the Great , which will increase from the ^fifth century .
