Ctesias' Persica and Its Near Eastern Context by Matt Waters
The Persica is an extensive history of Assyria and Persia written by the Greek historian Ctesias, who served as a doctor to the Persian king Artaxerxes II around 400 BCE. Matt Waters offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the Persica, and shows how it was infused with two millennia of Mesopotamian and Persian motifs, legends, and traditions.-
