Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag weist leichte Randläsuren auf, Anhaftungen auf dem Hinterdeckel (Schutzumschlag), Kopfschnitt angegraut, sonst guter Zustand und innen sehr sauber / dust jacket has light edgewear, adhesions on back cover (dust jacket), top edge grayed, otherwise good condition and internally very clean. - Since its first publication in 1962 A. R. Burn’s Persia and the Greeks has become the standard modern account of the Persian Wars, the epic struggle whose narrow outcome made possible the great age of classical Greek civilisation. The book is now reprinted from the corrected second impression of 1970 with the addition of a valuable Postscript by D.M. Lewis summarising the most important new discoveries and re-interpretations that have been made in recent years, in particular from Persian sources. As Dr Lewis remarks, the book retains its special merits. Dr Burn has a thorough knowledge not only of Herodotos’ text, the main source for the period, but also of the ground over which the war was fought. His narrative never flags, and his unfailing sense of reality, which does full justice to the politics of war and to the cultural differences between the Greeks and Persians, enables him to provide a convincing picture of events and motives in this crucial period of European history. / Contents Prefaces Abbreviations Introduction: Herodotos and other Sources PART I THE RISE OF PERSIA I Babylon and the Medes The Near East under Assyria, 21 - First mention of the Medes and Persians, 25 - The Fall of Assyria, 28 - Battle of Carchemish, 29 -Captivity of Judah, 30 - Kyaxares and Lydia, 31-Babylon against the Medes, 32 - Nabonidus in Arabia, 34.
