Cultural Responses to the Persian Wars: Antiquity to the Third Millennium

Abstract

This book addresses the huge impact on subsequent culture made by the wars fought between ancient Persia and Greece in the early 5th century bc. It brings together sixteen interdisciplinary essays, mostly by classical scholars, on individual trends within the reception of this period of history, extending from the wars' immediate impact on ancient Greek history to their reception in literature and thought both in antiquity and in the post-Renaissance world.

Keywords: ancient Persia, ancient Greece, Persian Wars, post-Renaisssance
