Of the great ancient civilizations, that of Persia is the least
known and the most enigmatic. This book explores the formation of
the first Persian Empire under the Achaemenid Persians. It brings
together a multi-disciplinary view of ancient Iran in the first
millennium BC and concentrates on the art, archaeology, history and
religion of a geographical area far beyond the present borders of
modern Iran in the period beginning just before the formation of
the Persian empire in the middle of the 6th century up to its
collapse following conquest by Alexander the Great in the late 4th
century BC. Eminent scholars here give a critical approach to some
of the traditional interpretations and discuss topics which help
the reader towards a better understanding of the formation of the
Persian empire. This is the first volume in the "Idea of Iran"
series which will be a four-volume collection encompassing the
history of that country.
