Semiramis' Legacy

The History of Persia According to Diodorus of Sicily

Beschreibung

There are only a few detailed histories of Persia from Ancient Greek historiography that have survived time. Diodorus of Sicily, a first century BC author, is the only one to have written a comprehensive history in which more than cursory attention is paid to Persia.
