Following Ted's lead, we should assume he likely didn't exist and was made up by later historians seeking to provide a historical base for the Hellenistic kingdoms that arose in the eastern Mediterranean region. There are numerous surviving ancient Greek and Latin sources on Alexander, as well as some oriental texts. None is contemporary. ..... The primary sources written by people who actually knew Alexander or who gathered information from men who served with Alexander, are all lost, apart from a few inscriptions and fragments.[1] ..... The five main surviving accounts are by Arrian, Plutarch, Diodorus, Curtius and Justin.[1] en.wikipedia.org All of those historians wrote more than a century after Alexander's time. They asserted they wrote using earlier sources but those no longer exist. Of course, I don't doubt Alexander existed. I'm just showing how silly Ted's argument is.
