- The History of Alexander, also known as Perì Aléxandron historíai, is a lost work by the late-fourth century BC Hellenistic historian Cleitarchus, covering the life and death of Alexander the Great. It survives today in around thirty fragments and is commonly known as The Vulgate, with the works based on it known as The Vulgate Tradition. These works consist primarily of that of Diodorus, the Bibliotheca historica, and Quintus Curtius Rufus, with his Historiae Alexandri Magni. Completed at some point between 309 and 301 BC, it was the most popular work depicting Alexander in its time, but is valuable today for its unique perspective on the conqueror, in particular his psychological disposition and specifics of how the soldiers under him lived. Unfortunately, it is considered an unreliable source, with modern scholars considering Cleitarchus to have been more dedicated to writing an entertaining story than a reliable historical account. This dedication was also challenged by contemporary historians such as Arrian, who wrote his The Anabasis of Alexander in what is believed to be a deliberate attempt to counter Cleitarchus' "Vulgate Tradition", and in doing so created a work regarded by modern scholars as the best source on Alexander.

- 《History of Alexander》，或稱《Perì Aléxandron historíai》，是西元前4世紀希臘化時代作家克來塔卡斯的著作，記載亞歷山大大帝的生與死，今已散佚。此書仍有30段文字散見於其它書籍，稱為通俗本（英語：The Vulgate），以這些片段為來源寫成的作品則稱為「通俗傳統」（英語：The Vulgate Tradition），包括西西里的狄奧多羅斯著作《》、昆圖斯·庫爾提烏斯·魯福斯著作《》等。 這部著作約在西元前309年至前301年的某個時間點完成，是當時以亞歷山大為主題的書籍中，最受歡迎的作品。此書視角獨特，描述亞歷山大的心理傾向與手下士兵的生活細節，從今日來看很有價值。不過，此書仍被後世學者視為不可靠的參考文獻。學者認為，克來塔克斯寫了一個有趣的故事，但非可信的歷史紀錄。如阿里安就在《亞歷山大遠征記》中刻意挑戰克來塔克斯的通俗傳統，讓《遠征記》成為現代學者評價甚高的重要文獻。 (zh)
