A.B. Bosworth discussed the tendency to interpret this person's meritocratic human resources policy as a universalizing humanist exercise, and he also compared the study of this person to investigating Cortes' campaign against the Aztecs, both in the structure of the events in question and in the unreliability and bias of the sources.

One contemporaneous historian of this person, a "pseudo-" version of whom ostensibly wrote a much later (*) "romance" about him, died in prison after he lost his position when he was implicated in a murder plot after he became critical of this man's abandoning egalitarianism and adoption of proskynesis. The most widely used historical work about this man uses an Attic style in conscious imitation of Xenophon's Anabasis; that book is by Arrian of Nicomedia. For 10 points, name this man, the subject of a lost chronicle by his deputy Ptolemy I Soter.
