The Achaemenid Persian Empire, at its greatest territorial extent
under Darius I (r.522-486 BCE), held sway over territory stretching
from the Indus River Valley to southeastern Europe and from the
western Himalayas to northeast Africa. In this book, Matt Waters
gives a detailed historical overview of the Achaemenid period while
considering the manifold interpretive problems historians face in
constructing and understanding its history. This book offers a
Persian perspective even when relying on Greek textual sources and
archaeological evidence. Waters situates the story of the
Achaemenid Persians in the context of their predecessors in the
mid-first millennium BCE and through their successors after the
Macedonian conquest, constructing a compelling narrative of how the
empire retained its vitality for more than two hundred years
(c.550-330 BCE) and left a massive imprint on Middle Eastern as
well as Greek and European history.
