Bag om The Fragments Of The Persika Of Ktesias (1888)

The Fragments of the Persika of Ktesias is a book written by John Gilmore and published in 1888. The book is a collection of fragments from the Persika, a lost historical work by the ancient Greek historian Ktesias. The Persika was a historical account of Persia and its people, written in the 5th century BC. However, the original work has been lost and only fragments of it have survived through the works of later writers who quoted Ktesias. In this book, Gilmore has compiled and translated these fragments into English, providing readers with a glimpse into the history and culture of ancient Persia. The fragments cover a wide range of topics, including the reigns of Persian kings, the customs and traditions of the Persian people, and their interactions with other ancient peoples such as the Greeks and the Egyptians. The book also includes an introduction by Gilmore, in which he provides background information on Ktesias and the Persika, as well as an analysis of the fragments and their historical significance. Overall, The Fragments of the Persika of Ktesias is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient history, particularly the history of Persia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
