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.
