“…La progresiva conformación de una Historia del imperio aqueménida desde el enfoque de nuevas fuentes permitió el desarrollo de una revisión de los vínculos políticos y culturales entre el orbe persa y el mundo heleno. Se cuenta en los últimos años con una importante producción destinada a revisar la historia y los aspectos organizativos del imperio persa contando con una lista extensa de autores (Wiesehofer 2001;Brosius 2006;Allen 2005;Sarkhosh Curtis y Stewart 2005;Tuplin 2007;Waters 2014a;Llewellyn-Jones 2013;Khatchadourian 2016).…”

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el impacto político que tuvo en el mundo griego la primera fase de expansión aqueménida sobre la Hélade Continental (513-449). Un proceso que, junto a un conjunto de campañas militares, estuvo conformado principalmente por el desarrollo de una estrategia diplomática de intervención a través de acuerdos de amistad (xenía) con familias aristocráticas. Este tipo de prácticas políticas fueron entabladas en el contexto de transición entre el siglo VI y V a.C. que implican el acto ritual de la entrega de tierra y agua, y fueron registrados por la tradición helena como un acto de sumisión al poder aqueménida. La propuesta es analizar el alcance de estas actividades diplomáticas como parte de una estrategia política para construir vínculos en un área de frontera de difícil acceso logístico para el control directo del imperio persa.

“…For the "Perserbau" with glazed brick reliefs of guards at Babylon, seeKuhrt 2007: 618, Koldewey 1913: 126-129 401 Root 1979 There are overviews of the royal hunt inKuhrt 2007 andLlewellyn-Jones 2013; these should be read in parallel with works on Greek and Roman hunting, and on hunting in late medieval early modern Europe. Talking to people who hunt with spears and bows is educational too.…”

My apologies to those I have forgotten.This dissertation was written a twelve-hour flight away from my private library. Any scholar who has travelled will know the limited power of notes and borrowed books to replace the physical and tactile knowledge of one's own eclectic collection. I apologize for any failures to document the ultimate origins of my ideas, which are shaped by many years of reading, much of it outside the traditional boundaries of ancient history and ancient near eastern studies. This research was supported from 2014 to 2018 by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, Canada. A number of small grants refunded some of the costs of attending conferences.iii Bibliographic Abbreviations and EditionsThis field draws on work in historical linguistics, classics, and Assyriology, each of which have their own conventions.Ancient sources are abbreviated in the styles of the Oxford Classical Dictionary and the Reallexikon der Assyriologie. I have avoided abbreviating journal titles because what is clear in one field in one decade can be confusing in a neighbouring field a generation later. A few encyclopaedias and dictionaries (the Encyclopaedia Iranica, EncIr., the Cambridge History of Iran, CHI, and Chicago Assyrian Dictionary, CAD) are abbreviated using the style of the Reallexicon der Assyriologie (RlA).Classical literary sources are cited through convenient editions and translations, often the Loeb Classical Library. My first encounters with Herodotus were through Waterfield 1998. The sources for quotations, if not my own translation, are indicated in the footnotes. In my view, the kinds of arguments which I am making are not ones where slight differences in the text are likely to be crucial: or from another point of view, I am not convinced that most previous researchers carefully examined the apparatus criticus of a good edition before citing Herodotus as 'proof' of a Persian military practice. Careful text-critical work might reveal new things, such as Brian Bosworth's discovery that a type of Maccedonian infantry called σθέταιροι had been removed from the text of ἀ Arrian by overzealous editors (Bosworth 1973, for later research see Anson 2010), but this dissertation is a work of ancient history more than philology. Conventions for Transcribing CuneiformMy transcriptions of cuneiform follow the conventions of the Oracc Akkadian Stylesheet http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/doc/help/languages/akkadian/akkadianstylesheet/index.html These include the use of numbers after a syllable to indicate which sign with that pronunciation is meant, vii

Achaemenid Empire

The first Persian Empire, created and maintained by the Great Kings of the Achaemenid dynasty, was a global empire of vast proportions. Before the conquests of Alexander of Macedon, the Achaemenid empire was the largest empire the world had ever seen, stretching from Libya to Pakistan. The period 559‐465 bce saw the rapid expansion of the empire under a series of conquering kings, and thereafter the empire matured and continued to flourish until its conquest by Macedon. The Achaemenids divided their vast empire into numerous satrapies to ensure efficient administration and the ability to levy taxes and tribute. Communication and trade was facilitated through excellent road systems. While the Persians adopted a tolerant position towards their conquered peoples, they could also be ruthless overlords, quelling opposition with startling swiftness and brutality.
