A Platonic philosopher that flourished in the first century AD, Onasander was the author of ‘Strategikos’ (The General), a short yet comprehensive work on the duties of a general. Recognised as a classic in Antiquity, it comprises 42 chapters, dealing in a plain style with the recommended morals and social and military qualities and attitudes expected of a successful general. Most subsequent military writers are indebted to Onasander and during the Renaissance he enjoyed a remarkable popularity.
