Quomodo Alexander educatus sit
Quomodo Alexander educatus sit (Graece Πῶς Ἀλέξανδρος ἤχθη) fuit opus ab Onesicrito Astypalaeensi scriptum, hodie deperditum, de rebus gestis Alexandri Macedonis. Magna pars libri quindecimi Geographicae Strabonis, ubi de India disserit, e citationibus Onesicriti demitur; etiam Plinius maior in Naturali historia saepe opus Onesicriti citat.
Ex opere Onesicriti (una cum Clitarchi Historiae Alexandri) provenit historia de Alexandri cum Thalestride Amazonum regina amoribus (F 1).[1] Fertur Lysimachum regem, Onesicrito librum suum quartum praelegente de Alexandri cum Thalestride Amazonum regina amoribus, "Quaeso," dixisse, "ubinam ego illo die eram?"[2]
