The heroic deed of Alexander in India, when he almost lost his life during the siege of a town, is used by two historians —Curtius Rufus (9.5.2) and Arrian (An. 6.11.2-8)— as a pretext to introduce a digression in their stories. They try to demonstrate the same fact: that Ptolemy, the future king of Egypt, was absent in that occasion. In this paper, I propose to read both passages under the perspective of both narratology and critical discourse analysis to raise some questions on issues as the notion of historical truth in Antiquity, the re-readings that historians made of their sources and the rhetorical structure of the historiographical discourse.
