Book of the Greeks

The Life of the kings refers to this allegedly written source in regards to the invasion of eastern Georgia (K‛art‛li) by Alexander the Great. However, the anonymous Georgian author displays no direct knowledge of any Classical source, including the texts associated with Pseudo-Callisthenes. The account of the Life of the kings is reflected in another Georgian source, the Primary History of K‛art‛li, and it is possible that the tradition originally stems from the lost Georgian Hambavi mep‛et‛a. The allusion to the Book of the Greeks was intended to add legitimacy to the Georgian narrative and perhaps was an acknowledgement of the existence of Pseudo-Callisthenes and similar works.
