Persian influence on Greek,

This review is from: Athens and Persia in the Fifth Century BC: A Study in Cultural Receptivity (Paperback)
In this unique book, Margaret Christina Miller shows despite the common belief that Athenians disliked Persian, they were very much fond of Persian culture (despite tensions and wars)and imitated some aspects of their arts and cultures and were Persianalized in many ways. Those aspects are evident in their numerous potteries and other archeological evidences -not to mention their books. I am seeing a new generation of researchers such as her and Professor Pierre Briant who try to narrate the history of the past in an unbiased manner. So far most of authors in the field were so much hostile against Persians as it sounded like they were in the army of Alexander the Great in his campaign against Persia!Thank you Professor Miller! |
