ARISTANDER

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 494 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARISTANDER , of Telmessus in
Lycia
 , was the favourite soothsayer of Alexander the
Great
 , who consulted him on all occasions. After the death of the monarch, when his
body
  had lain unburied for thirty days, Aristander procured its burial by foretelling that the country in which it was interred would be the most prosperous in the world. He is frequently mentioned by the historians who wrote about Alexander, and was probably the author of a
work
  on prodigies, which is referred to by Pliny (Nat. Hist. xvii. 38) and
Lucian
 .
Philopatris

Anabasis

Plutarch
 , Alexander;
Curtius
  iv. 2, 6, 15, vii. 7.
