| Zusammenfassung: | There are only a few detailed histories of Persia from Ancient Greek historiography that have survived time. Diodorus of Sicily, a first century BC author, is the only one to have written a comprehensive history (the Î₂ΣÎøλΣοÎı̀ưæÎðÎʺ ̀ơłÏ³Ï⁴οϹΣÎð̀ưæ (Bibliotheca Historica or Historical Library)) in which more than cursory attention is paid to Persia. The Bibliotheca Historica covers the entire period from Persiá⁰₉s prehistory until the arrival of the Parthians from the East and that of Roman power throughout Asia Minor and beyond from the West, some 750 odd years or more after Assyrian rule ended. Diodoruś⁰₉ contribution to our knowledge of Persian history is therefore of great value for the modern historian of the Ancient Near East and in this book Jan Stronk provides the first complete translation of Diodoruś⁰₉ account of the history of Persia. He also examines and evaluates both Diodoruś⁰₉ account and the sources he used to compose his work, taking into consideration the historical, political and archaeological factors that may have played a role in the transmission of the evidence he used to acquire the raw material underlying his Bibliotheca. |

Edinburgh : Edinburgh University Press, 2017. 1 online resource (xvii, 606 pages) : illustrations text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Edinburgh Studies in Ancient Persia Includes bibliographical references and indexes. There are only a few detailed histories of Persia from Ancient Greek historiography that have survived time. Diodorus of Sicily, a first century BC author, is the only one to have written a comprehensive history (the Î₂ΣÎøλΣοÎı̀ưæÎðÎʺ ̀ơłÏ³Ï⁴οϹΣÎð̀ưæ (Bibliotheca Historica or Historical Library)) in which more than cursory attention is paid to Persia. The Bibliotheca Historica covers the entire period from Persiá⁰₉s prehistory until the arrival of the Parthians from the East and that of Roman power throughout Asia Minor and beyond from the West, some 750 odd years or more after Assyrian rule ended. Diodoruś⁰₉ contribution to our knowledge of Persian history is therefore of great value for the modern historian of the Ancient Near East and in this book Jan Stronk provides the first complete translation of Diodoruś⁰₉ account of the history of Persia. He also examines and evaluates both Diodoruś⁰₉ account and the sources he used to compose his work, taking into consideration the historical, political and archaeological factors that may have played a role in the transmission of the evidence he used to acquire the raw material underlying his Bibliotheca. Translated from the Ancient Greek.
