Persians: The Age of The Great Kings
£7.49THE PERSIANS is a definitive new history of the Persian Empire, the world’s first superpower.
The Great Kings of Persia ruled over the largest Empire of antiquity, stretching from Libya to the Steppes of Asia, and from Ethiopia to Pakistan. At the heart of the Empire was the fabled palace-city of Persepolis where the Achaemenid monarchs held court in unparalleled grandeur. From here, Cyrus the Great, Darius, Xerxes, and their heirs passed laws, raised armies, and governed their multicultural Empire of enormous diversity.
The Achaemenids, however, were one of the great dysfunctional families of history. Brothers fought brothers for power, wives and concubines plotted to promote their sons to the throne, and eunuchs and courtiers vied for influence and prestige.
Our understanding of the Persian Empire has traditionally come from the histories of Greek writers such as Herodotus – and as such, over many centuries, our perspective has been skewed by ancient political and cultural agendas. Professor Llewellyn-Jones, however, calls upon original Achaemenid sources, including inscriptions, art, and recent archaeological discoveries in Iran, to create an authentic ‘Persian Version’ of this remarkable first great empire of antiquity – the Age of the Great Kings.

The Ancient Mysteries: A Sourcebook of Sacred Texts
£19.34Zeus and the other gods of shining Olympus were in reality divine only by popular consent. Over the course of time Olympian luster diminished in favor of religious experiences more immediate to the concerns of people living in an increasingly cosmopolitan ancient world. These experiences were provided by the mysteries, religions that flourished particularly during the Hellenistic period and were secretly practiced by groups of adherents who decided, through personal choice, to be initiated into the profound realities of one deity or another. Unlike the official state religions, in which people were expected to make an outward show of allegiance to the local gods, the mysteries emphasized an inwardness and privacy of worship within a closed band of initiates.
In this book, Marvin W. Meyer explores the sacrifices and prayers, the public celebrations and secret ceremonies, the theatrical performances and literary works, the gods and goddesses that were a part of the mystery religions of Greece in the seventh century B.C. to the Judaism and Christianity of the Roman world of the seventh century A.D.

Un viaggio mitologico affascinante
Ho appena terminato la lettura di “Uncovering World Mythology” di Lucas Russo e devo dire che è stato un viaggio affascinante! Il libro riunisce cinque mitologie distinte in un solo volume, quindi è un’ottima base per coloro che sono interessati alla scoperta delle leggende del passato.Russo scrive storie che sono divertenti e facili da seguire. Mi è piaciuto molto l’estratto su Hera, la dea greca del matrimonio e della famiglia. Mi ha dato un’idea dell’attenzione che l’autore ha impiegato per scrivere questo libro.In generale, ho trovato questo libro molto istruttivo e descrittivo. Questo libro è un ottimo punto di partenza se sei un neofita della mitologia come me. Cinque stelle!
