Ctesias: On India
Author: Andrew Nichols
Publisher: Bristol Classical Press
ISBN: 9781853997426
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
A Greek doctor serving at the court of the Persian king Artaxerxes II in the fifth century BC, Ctesias met travellers and visitors from the far eastern reaches of the Persian Empire, merchants from along the Silk Road and Indians from near the Indus Valley. His Indika (On India), was the first monograph ever written on India by a western author, introducing its readers to such fantastic creatures as the unicorn and the martichora, along with real life subjects such as the parrot and the art of falconry. Confirming pre-existing conceptions of what were considered to be the edges of the earth, Ctesias' Indika helped shape the Greek view of India.

Bios Philosophos
Author: Mauro Bonazzi
Publisher: Brepols Publishers
ISBN: 9782503565460
Category : Philosophers
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"In the 4th century B.C., philosophers began to write not only philosophical texts, but also biographical ones. As biographers, they often presented members of their own schools as the epitome of their ideals, or tried to prove that the followers of others lived in ways inconsistent with their own doctrines. The papers collected in this volume explore the many ways in which philosophy was incorporated into such texts, as well as how the genre was used as a means of philosophical instruction, discussion and polemics."--Back cover.
