  Alexander the Great: the capture of the Sogdian rock
In 328 or 327, Alexander captured one of the mountain forts in Sogdia, the Sogdian Rock or Rock of Ariamazes.
The story of the siege is told by the Greek author Arrian of Nicomedia, whose Anabasis (section 4.18.4-19.6) was translated by Aubrey de Sélincourt.
News had come in that a large number of the natives had taken refuge on the Rock of Sogdia, and among them the wife and daughters of Oxyartes the Bactrian, who had himself refused to submit to Alexander and had chosen this refuge for his family in the belief that the Rock was impregnable.

 THE CAMPAIGNS OF ALEXANDER - Arrian - Penguin Group (New Zealand)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
While Alexander emerges from this record as an unparalleled and charismatic leader, Arrian succeeds brilliantly in creating an objective and fully rounded portrait of a man of boundless ambition, who was exposed to the temptations of power and worshipped as a god in his own lifetime.
Aubrey de Sélincourt’s vivid translation is accompanied by J. Hamilton’s introduction, which discusses Arrian’s life and times, his synthesis of other classical sources and the composition of Alexander’s army.
The edition also includes maps, a list for further reading and a detailed index.

The style, in de Sélincourt's translation, is chatty and rambling, which is appropriate according to commentary I've read from those familiar with the old-Greek originals; the English is uninflected mid-Twentieth-century standard.
Of course the most famous of all these battles was at Thermopylae, where Leonidas and his 300 Spartans held up the entire Persian army for days by defending a narrow defile and being perfectly willing to die rather than be moved.

 The Campaigns of Alexander -- Arrianus Aubrey De Selincourt
Although written over four hundred years after Alexander's death, Arrian's 'Campaigns of Alexander' is our best source of knowledge of the man and his deeds.
Arrain had himself been a military commander, and his record of the exploits of the world's greatest conqueror reveals sympathy for his subject, without the adulation or contempt which so often mar other histories of the time.
Arrain's unaffected style of writing, with its matter-of-fact tone, offsets the remarkable career and paradoxical nature of Alexander, giving us a fair, clear report about a man who was worshipped as a god in his own lifetime.

Amazon.ca: Phoenix: The World of Herodotus: Books: Aubrey De Selincourt
De Selincourt is the translator of the Penguin 'Histories' of Herodotus, and although I prefer Oxford version by Waterfield, I just love this book.
Much more than just a guide to the 'Histories' (which are so entertaining and clear as to hardly need one), this is a wide-ranging introduction to the life, thought, literature, and history of the Classical Greek world, focusing on the earlier period when Herodotus wrote (500BC).
