It is a commonplace of modern scholarship that the Athenians hated
and despised the Persians, but the claims of contempt are disproved
by the evidence of archaeology, epigraphy, iconography and
literature, all of which reveal some facet of Athenian receptivity
to Achaemenid Persian culture. The Athenian response was as richly
complex as the spheres of interaction: both private and public,
elite and sub-elite. It appears in pot shapes, clothing, luxurious
display and monumental architecture. This innovative study, the
first comprehensive collection of evidence pertaining to the
relations between Athens and Persia in the fifth century BC, aims
to make this evidence better known and in so doing to argue that
the social culture of classical Athens was not the monolithic
construct it might appear.
