2 of those first 3 were historians for him.

Quote:Callisthenes of Olynthus, (born c. 360 bc—died c. 327), ancient Greek historian best known for his influential history of Greece. Callisthenes was appointed to attend Alexander the Great as historian of his Asiatic expedition on the recommendation of his uncle Aristotle, who was Alexander’s former tutor.http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topi...f-Olynthus
Quote:Aristobulus († after 301 BCE): Macedonian officer, biographer of Alexander the Great.http://www.livius.org/ap-ark/aristobulus...bulus.html
Aristobulus was probably one of the friends of Alexander's father Philip and accompanied Alexander on his war in the East. Since he is never mentioned as a participant to the fights, it has been assumed that he was either a military engineer or a non-military official.
Quote:While the King was engaged in incorporating in the various Macedonian units the troops which had come from Persia with Peucestas and from the coast with Philoxenus and Menander, he happened to feel thirsty, and getting up from where he was sitting moved away and left the royal throne empty.http://www.livius.org/aj-al/alexander/al...r_t64.html
On either side of the throne stood couches with silver feet, on which his attendants had been sitting, but they had got up and gone away with the King, and only the guard of eunuchs was left standing round the throne.
Now some fellow or other -some say a prisoner under open arrest- seeing the throne and the couches unoccupied, made his way up through the eunuchs and sat down on the throne. The eunuchs, according to some Persian custom, did not turn him off, but began to tear their clothes and beat their breasts and faces as if something dreadful had happened.
Alexander was at once told, and ordered the man to be put to the torture in an endeavor to find out if what he had done was part of a prearranged plot. However, all they could get out of him was, that he acted as he did merely upon impulse. This served to strengthen the seers' forebodings of disaster.
