Synopsis

Cyrus the Great (600-529 B.C.), conqueror of Media, Lydia and Babylon, founded the Persian Empire which extended from the Indus to the Mediterranean, and from the Caucasus to the Indian Ocean. Established and maintained by force of arms, ruled by the greatest Kings the world has ever seen, Darius and Alexander among them, almost the whole known world came under Persian rule. Tracing the history of Persia (modern Iran) up to the Kajar rulers, this work studies ancient Persian history, from its earliest times, through the Sassanian dynasty, up to the Arab conquest in the seventh century. S.G.W. Benjamin, American author and historian, became U.S. Minister to Persia in the latter years of the nineteenth century. The present work was first published in 1887.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
