Book Type / Category: Academic monograph (historiography / reception history)
Target Audience:
Upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and general readers interested in Ancient Persia, classical reception, historiography, and how scholarly frameworks shape “East–West” historical narratives.
Description (3–5 lines):
A focused historiographical study of how Western historical writing constructed Ancient Persia—especially the Achaemenid Empire—through frameworks inherited from Hellenism, classical scholarship, and the persistent “East vs. West” narrative. Rather than re-telling Persian history, it analyzes the concepts and academic traditions that shaped portrayals of Persia (including stereotypes such as “Oriental despotism” and civilizational ranking). The book aims to make these inherited lenses visible so readers can approach Achaemenid history with a more nuanced, cross-cultural perspective.
