商品简介 The Persians Is A Definitive New History Of The Persian Empire, The World'S First Superpower. The Great Kings Of Persia Ruled Over The Largest Empire Of Antiquity, Stretching From Libya To The Steppes Of Asia, And From Ethiopia To Pakistan. At The Heart Of The Empire Was The Fabled Palace-City Of Persepolis Where The Achaemenid Monarchs Held Court In Unparalleled Grandeur. From Here, Cyrus The Great, Darius, Xerxes, And Their Heirs Passed Laws, Raised Armies, And Governed Their Multicultural Empire Of Enormous Diversity. The Achaemenids, However, Were One Of The Great Dysfunctional Families Of History. Brothers Fought Brothers For Power, Wives And Concubines Plotted To Promote Their Sons To The Throne, And Eunuchs And Courtiers Vied For Influence And Prestige. Our Understanding Of The Persian Empire Has Traditionally Come From The Histories Of Greek Writers Such As Herodotus - And As Such, Over Many Centuries, Our Perspective Has Been Skewed By Ancient Political And Cultural Agendas. Professor Llewellyn-Jones, However, Calls Upon Original Achaemenid Sources, Including Inscriptions, Art, And Recent Archaeological Discoveries In Iran, To Create An Authentic 'Persian Version' Of This Remarkable First Great Empire Of Antiquity - The Age Of The Great Kings.《波斯人》是世界上第一个超级大国波斯帝国的权威新历史。波斯伟大的国王统治着古代*大的帝国,从利比亚延伸到亚洲大草原,从埃塞俄比亚延伸到巴基斯坦。帝国的中心是传说中的宫殿城市波斯波利斯,阿契美尼德君主在这里举行无与伦比的宏伟法庭。从这里,居鲁士大帝、大流士、薛西斯及其继承人通过了法律,召集了军队,并统治了他们巨大多样性的多元文化帝国。然而,阿契美尼德家族却是历史上功能失调的伟大家族之一。兄弟争权,妻妾密谋提拔儿子,太监朝臣争夺权势。我们对波斯帝国的理解传统上来自希罗多德等希腊作家的历史——因此,在许多个世纪里,我们的观点一直被古代政治和文化议程所扭曲。然而,卢埃林-琼斯教授呼吁利用阿契美尼德王朝的原始资料,包括铭文、艺术和伊朗*近的考古发现,为这个非凡的古代第一个伟大帝国——伟大国王的时代——创造一个真实的“波斯版本”。
