Besides The Anabasis of Alexander, what other significant work did Arrian write?
Plato’s dialogues
The Iliad
Homeric Hymns
Indica
Answer
The "Indica" is indeed Arrian's other prominent work besides "The Anabasis of Alexander". Composed nearly three centuries after Alexander's legendary conquests, "Indica" chronicles Alexander's campaign in India and offers valuable insights into the geography, customs, and cultural diversity of the Indian subcontinent as understood by ancient Greeks. Its significance lies in its historical importance as a primary source on Alexander's Eastern expedition and its ethnographic depiction of ancient India
