Series Editor’s Preface
Edinburgh Studies in Ancient Persia focuses on the world of ancient Persia (pre-Islamic Iran) and its reception.Academic interest with and fascination in ancient Persia have burgeoned in recent decades and research on Persian history and culture is now routinely filtered into studies of the Greek and Roman worlds; Biblical scholarship too is now more keenly aware of Persian-period history than ever before; while, most importantly, the study of th…
Alexander the Gay and the Gloryhole That Was Greece
Within contemporary Western gay communities, Alexander the Great is often championed as a hero and an inspirational figure – the ultimate high-status homosexual. This chapter explores the various ways in which he has been visualised within the gay community and its wider – more closeted – community. The chapter explores his literary image in the novels of Mary Renault, in stage musicals and pornography and in mainstream Hollywood cinema. The dark…

Persianisms
The Persians held sway over the Greek imagination for more than 200 years. The image of Persia shifted in that time from xenophobic hostility, caused through fear of the encroaching presence of the Persian empire, through to curious acceptance of its dominance. Much study has been given to the formative decades of the construction of the Persian “Other” in Greek art, but the fourth-century image of Persia has remained relatively unexplored. This …
King and Court in Ancient Persia 559 to 331 BCE
The first Persian Empire (559-331 BCE) was the biggest land empire the world had seen, and seated at the heart of its vast dominions, in the south of modern-day Iran, was the person of the Great King. Immortalized in Greek literature as despotic tyrants, a new vision of Persian monarchy is emerging from Iranian, and other, sources (literary, visual, and archaeological), which show the Kings in a very different light. Inscriptions of Cyrus, Darius…
‘An Almost All Greek Thing’
This chapter explores the Hollywood creation of history's most famous woman — Cleopatra VII, queen of Egypt. Of Macedonian ancestry and very much a product of the cultural norms of Hellenistic Greece, Cleopatra ruled her rich kingdom with authority and zeal. But Hollywood, following centuries-worth of tradition, wrote Cleopatra's Hellenic heritage out of the picture, as much as her striking political acumen was overlooked too. Instead the Cleopat…
Empire of the Gaze’
‘Empire of the Gaze’:Despotism and Seraglio Fantasies à la grecque in Chariton’s Callirhoe Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones (bio) When I said I had actually stayed in a harem, I could see the male portion of my audience, as it were, passing round the wink. ‘You may not put the word “harem” on the title of your lecture,’ said the secretary of a certain society. ‘Many who might come to hear you would stay away for fear of hearing improper revelations, and oth…
Cleopatra VI Tryphaina
Cleopatra VI Tryphaina, queen of Egypt and wife of Ptolemy XII, is a frustratingly obscure individual in the history of the Ptolemaic Dynasty.
Arsinoe III
Arsinoe III Philapator, the sister‐wife of Ptolemy IV, was born to royal parents: Ptolemy III Euergetes I and his queen, Berenike II. Her birth can probably be dated between November 246 and June 245 BCE .
Beauty
There are as many conceptions of beauty as there are cultures. Every society defines beauty, predominantly female beauty, according to a set of commonly held criteria operating around the construction of gender, class, and aesthetics which are specific to a time and a locale.
Berenike I, wife of Ptolemy I
Berenike I, queen of Egypt, and wife of Ptolemy I, was born around 340 BCE to Antigone, a Macedonian noblewoman from the house of Antipater, and a nobleman named Magas.
Cleopatra IV
The somewhat shadowy figure of Cleopatra IV was the (possibly eldest) daughter of Ptolemy VIII and Cleopatra III, born around 138–135 BCE .
Arsinoe I
Arsinoe I, the first wife of Ptolemy II, is an obscure figure in the history of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, and little information beyond the key facts of her life survives.
Cleopatra V Berenike III
Cleopatra V Berenike III Philopator (also referred to simply as Cleopatra V, Cleopatra Berenike III, or even Berenike III), queen of Egypt, was the daughter of Ptolemy IX.
Berenike II, wife of Ptolemy III
Berenike II (ca. 267/6–221 BCE ), wife of Ptolemy III, was the daughter of Magas of Cyrene.
The Great Kings of the Fourth Century and the Greek Memory of the Persian Past
Cleopatra Selene
Cleopatra Selene, one of the most determined and long‐lived of the Ptolemaic royal women, was born around 135–130 BCE , the daughter of Ptolemy VIII and his niece‐wife, Cleopatra III. She was one of three daughters (with Cleopatra IV and Tryphaina) and two sons (Ptolemy IX and Ptolemy X), and may have been the youngest of the royal siblings. During her life she was both one‐time queen of Egypt and of Syria, and the wife and mother of several succ…
Greek Notions of the Past in the Archaic and Classical Eras
This volume in The Edinburgh Leventis Studies series collects the papers presented at the sixth A. G. Leventis conference organised under the auspices of the Department of Classics at the University of Edinburgh. As with earlier volumes, it engages with new research and new approaches to the Greek past, and brings the fruits of that research to a wider audience. Although Greek historians were fundamental in the enterprise of preserving the memory…

Creating a Hellenistic world
Alexander's conquest of the Persian empire had far-reaching impact, in space and time. Much of the territory that he seized would remain under the control of Macedonian kings until the arrival of the Romans. But Macedonian power also brought with it Greeks and Greek culture. In this book, leading scholars in the field explore the creation of this Hellenistic world, its cultural, political and economic transformations, and how far these were a con…

Aphrodite's Tortoise
Eunuchs in Antiquity and Beyond
Eunuchism was a subject which both intrigued and embarrassed the ancient world. The special virtue attributed to the castrated male at court, of undistracted loyalty to his ruler, aided the promotion of numerous eunuchs to positions of great power. A literary discourse developed, reviling and sometimes defending the eminence of these 'half-men'. Here, thirteen new studies from an international cast explore how eunuchs were perceived, and also rec…
