Constitutant l'une des premières formes de vie de la planète, les méduses dérivent sous les flots depuis au moins 500 millions d'années. Ces beautés gélatineuses continuent de fasciner par leur impressionnante adaptabilité et leur capacité à prospérer dans les océans de plus en plus chauds et pollués. Ce livre traite essentiellement des méduses proprement dites, mais aussi des autres organismes gélatineux planctoniques, comme les salpes et les cténophores. Magnifiquement illustré, il présente les informations les plus récentes sur la vie de ces incroyables créatures, ainsi que les portraits de 50 espèces parmi les plus remarquables, de la minuscule méduse immortelle à la méduse géante de Nomura.

Studies on Ctesias’ Persika are much in demand. Scholars consult the history of the sequence of the three Near Eastern world empires in 23 books on the history of the Ancient Near East, and as a source for Graeco-Persian relations and Greek memorial culture of the 4th century B.C. Others are interested in the varied Greek images of the East, in the origin of the concept of „Oriental Despotism“ or in the powerful pattern of a sequence of world empires, and thus come across the work of the Cnidian doctor. Finally, the Persika – whose genre affiliation is still as controversial as the author’s role as an eye witness – also figure prominently in the debates on the origins of the Greek novel.It was a central concern of the conference at Salzau Castle near Kiel in May 2006 to gain new access to this fascinating work. The conference’s contributions which are presented in this volume tread new paths by paying particular attention to Ctesias’ precursors and contemporaries, and to the contemporary oriental tradition. Also, single parts as well as the main themes of the Persika are examined more closely.

Towards the end of the fifth century BC Ctesias of Cnidus wrote his 23 book History of Persia. Ctesias is a remarkable figure: he lived and worked in the Persian court and, as a doctor, tended to the world's most powerful kings and queens. His position gave him special insight into the workings of Persian court life and access to the gossip and scandal surrounding Persian history and court politics, past and present. His History of Persia was completed at a time when the Greeks were fascinated by Persia and seems very much to cater to contemporary interest in Persian wealt
