Ok. So I should have placed the word 'about' before the 200 years.
Sounds to me like alot of you people are upset because some of you didn't do very well.
To review this is your question
Quote
200 hundred years after Alexander the Great's death, this historian wrote:
"For I myself believe that there was at that time no race of mankind, no city, no single individual to which the name of Alexander had not reached."
Who was this historian?
Polybius of Megalopolis ?
Thucydides ?
Lucius Flavius Arrianus ?
None of these ?
To repeat.
I note that the answer you give is Arrianus who lived 400+ years after Alexander's death. In your question you give the clue "200 years after Alexander the Great's death,". Anyone who knows that the Greek Historian Polybius lived "about" 200 years after Alexander's death, that Thucydides died before Alexander was born and that Arrianus lived 400+ yearsafter Alexander would naturally conclude that the historian in question was Polybius, because he lived "about" 200 years after Alexander unlike Arrianus who lived "about" 400 years after Alexander.
About this question I was miffed because the question contained a clue, the 200 years, that pointed "unerroringly" at a wrong answer; Polybius!
