Join us for a talk exploring whether an ethnographic tradition existed in the Achaemenid Persian world and how this may relate to, challenge, or illuminate the better-known Greek (especially Herodotean) ethnographic perspectives. The lecture will examine cross-cultural narrative exchanges and historical approaches in the ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds.
