"Scythians and Greeks will open up the region to a wider audience, bringing the Scythians into the mainstream of the western European study of ancient history; it will also take further the debate started by E. H. Minns' landmark publication of the same name published almost a century ago. The book brings together experts in the field, giving a taste of the scholarship coming out of the former USSR after years of separation and providing a starting-point for engagement with the Black Sea region."--BOOK JACKET.

*Includes pictures *Includes ancient accounts of the Scythians *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading Among all the peoples of the ancient Near East, few are more misunderstood than the Scythians. The Scythians swept into Anatolia in the early first millennium BCE and left a large swath of destruction in their wake. They challenged old, strong, and venerable kingdoms such as the Assyrians, Egyptians, and Medes, until they were defeated by the Medes and then gradually disappeared into historical obscurity once more. According to the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, the Scythians ruled a large part of the Near East for nearly 30 years, but before they disappeared from the historical record, the Scythians greatly impacted the history of the Near East. The Scythians have been known to the world for centuries thanks to the writings of Herodotus and other Classical historians, but still much remains unknown about the enigmatic people, and the first attempts to understand the mostly non-literate warrior culture through archaeology were conducted by Soviet scholars during the 20th century. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, Soviet research on the Scythians has become more widely available in the West and Russia, and other central Asian republics have been more receptive to allowing foreign scholars to conduct field work in their countries. This has resulted in a much greater understanding of the Scythians and their place in ancient history. Through an analysis of modern scholarly works and archaeological reports, as well as careful examination of literate peoples who wrote about the Scythians, the importance of these people can be placed more firmly in its proper historical context. The examination shows that although the Scythians' influence in the Near East was ephemeral, for nearly 400 years they were able to affect the course of history by aiding in the rise and fall of some notable dynasties, namely the Assyrians, Medes, Achaemenid Persians, and Macedonian Greeks. Scythia: The History and Legacy of the Scythians looks at one of antiquity's most interesting empires. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about Scythia like never before.

Though the 'Scythian period' in the history of Eastern Europe lasted little more than 400 years, the impression these horsemen made upon the history of their times was such that a thousand years after they had ceased to exist as a sovereign people, their heartland and the territories which they dominated far beyond it continued to be known as 'greater Scythia'. From the very beginnings of their emergence on the world scene the Scythians took part in the greatest campaigns of their times, defeating such mighty contemporaries as Assyria, Urartu, Babylonia, Media and Persia. This highly illustrated book details their costume, weapons and the way they waged war.

This volume offers a detailed consideration of the style, technology, and iconographic implications of the art of the Scythians, organized by object typology and chronology, and considered against a broader historical, expressive, and technical background; that of the Scythians' Eurasian sources, of earlier and contemporary West Asian cultures, and of the Hellenic culture which emerged beside that of the Scythians in the northern littoral of the Black Sea.
