The Great Conquests
M att W aters . Ctesias’ Persica and Its Near Eastern Context
The earliest (the Achaemenid) Persian Empire (550–330 b.c.) was remarkable: it stretched from the Aegean Sea and Egypt in the west to Central Asia and Pakistan in the east. No polity capable of challenging it existed until the emergence of the Macedonian kingdom on its northwestern border. Yet its history has to be largely reconstructed using the accounts of Greek authors who lived along and within its western frontier, whose views were often hos…
Kings, Countries, Peoples
Pierre Briant’s work focuses particularly on the Achaemenid Empire, Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic Kingdoms. For the first time a selection of articles, originally published between 1979 and 2008, is now available in an English translation. The essays, translated by Amélie Kuhrt, deal with a wide range of topics, from regional studies to more universal subjects. A thought-provoking introduction gives a deeper understanding of his thinkin…

The shifting focus is variously economic, social, biological, religious and artistic. The studies cover a wide geographic and chronological range, from…

The Persian Empire
Alexander the Great and His Empire
This is the first publication in English of Pierre Briant's classic short history of Alexander the Great's conquest of the Persian empire, from the Mediterranean to Central Asia. Eschewing a conventional biographical focus, this is the only book in any language that sets the rise of Alexander's short-lived empire within the broad context of ancient Near Eastern history under Achaemenid Persian rule, as well as against Alexander's Macedonian backg…

The Assyrian heartland in the Achaemenid period
On a jugé pendant longtemps que le territoire de l'Assyrie n'était que peu peuplé depuis les dévastations babyloniennes et mèdes de 614-612 ; l'image qu'en donne Xénophon dans l'Anabase paraît confirmer une telle impression. L'auteur réexamine la documentation sur l'Assyrie entre le VIe et le IVe siècles, se fondant sur des travaux récents et sur de nouvelles découvertes. Elle conclut que la documentation disponible ne corrobore pas cette impress…
