LETTERATI E STORICI DALLA CENA DI MEDIO ALLA CORTE DI ANTIGONO MONOFTALMO

Abstract

Some historians and scholars, who were at the court of Antigonos the One-Eyed,
took part also in the Medius’ dinner, as we know from the Liber de morte Alexandri Magni.
Nearchus of Crete was between them and he praised himself in his historiographical work, in
my opinion, for #nding, a%er the death of Alexander the Great, a new royal court where to live
and not for defending himself from the accusation of poisoning.
