Sophist Kings Persians as Other in Herodotus Vernon L. Provencal, Acadia University, Canada
Adapted by adaptor "[A] provocative thesis… Original and stirring, this argument has moments of brilliance…" Bryn Mawr Classical Review This study highlights the consistency with which the Persians are depicted as sophists and explores how the ideology that Herodotus ascribes to the Persians comes directly from 5th-century sophists, whose arguments served to justify Athenian imperialism. The volume connects the ideological conflict between panhellenism and imperialism in Herodotus’ contemporary Greece to his representation of the past conflict between Greek freedom and Persian imperialism. Detecting a universal paradigm, Sophist Kings argues that Herodotus was suggesting the Athenians should regard their own empire as a betrayal of the common cause by which they led the Greeks to victory in the Persian wars.
