Lecture 2: How do we know what we know? That might sound like a philosopher’s question rather than a historian’s, but it lies at the heart of what historians do. Before we can form any conclusions about the past, we need to understand and evaluate the sources we’re using. And that’s especially true for the Persian Empire. To study the Persians, we must be detectives, questioning and analyzing our witnesses - our sources - carefully. In this lecture, we’ll meet these witnesses, including the Greek narrative sources, some books of the Hebrew Bible, the inscription at Bisitun, archaeological evidence, and ancient letters from
Egypt.

Suggested Reading:
Brosius, The Persian Empire from Cyrus II to Artaxerxes I.
Curtis and Tallis, eds., Forgotten Empire.
