unusual facts about Aristobulus of Cassandreia


Thalestris

He mentions 14 authors, some of whom believed the story (so Onesicritus, Cleitarchus), while others took it to be only fiction (so Aristobulus of Cassandreia, Chares of Mytilene, Ptolemy I of Egypt, Duris of Samos).


The Susa weddings

Alexander himself married Stateira (sometimes called Barsine, but not to be confused with Barsine, wife of Memnon), the eldest daughter of Darius, and, according to Aristobulus, another wife in addition, Parysatis, the youngest daughter of Artaxerxes III.
