Onesikritos of Astypalaia (FGrH 134), member of an Aiginetan family already experienced with seafaring and involved with the philosopher Diogenes the Cynic (Figueira 1993), followed Alexander in Asia and wrote – perhaps close to 323 Bce – a work entitled How Alexander was educated, clearly inspired by Xenophon's Cyropaedia .
