Lecture 7: The Great King; the king of kings; the king of lands, the king of peoples.” Darius and his successors used these titles in their inscriptions, but what did it really mean to be the Great King?

We’ve already encountered some of the perspectives of outsiders, such as the Greeks: generous Cyrus, crazy Cambyses, sneaky Darius. But in this lecture, we get beyond the stereotypes of tyranny, decadence, and weakness to look at the Achaemenid kings from their own perspective. We’ll return to Persepolis, visit the nearby royal tombs at Naqsh-i Rustam, and study some of the institutions and people who surrounded the king.

Suggested Reading:
Briant, From Cyrus to Alexander, chaps 5–8.
Kuhrt, The Persian Empire, chap 11.
