A seemingly hopeless quest for glory turns into a life-and-death struggle for empire. The Oracle at Delphi dubbed him Invincible Alexander. He does his best to live up to Pythia's prophesy, much to the chagrin of his bitter adversary - the powerful and ruthless Emperor Darius III of Persia. As recounted by Ptolemaios, Alexander's long-time bodyguard and friend, Alexander careens from hopeless battle to desperate siege, somehow managing to emerge victorious each time. Accompanied by the beautiful and independent-minded Barsine, Alexander the Great leads his troops into Egypt and is crowned Pharaoh. Yet, he's plagued by doubt. He decides to cross the Sahara, escorted only by his personal bodyguard, in search of divine sanction. Hearing himself proclaimed a demigod, Alexander returns, more determined than ever to fulfill his destiny. With each military victory, his appetite for further conquest grows. His next objective is the throne of the Persian Empire itself. The only obstacle in his way is the current occupant of that throne. In the meantime, Darius has not been standing idly by. Exploiting the almost limitless resources of Persia, he builds his greatest fighting machine yet. An epic showdown is inevitable. The victor can look forward to the carnal and sybaritic pleasures of Babylon, the treasures of Susa, the palaces of Persepolis, and the endless riches of the Persian Empire. The two armies clash in the momentous Battle of Gaugamela. The outcome marks a turning point in world history. But you have to read this third installment of the Ptolemaios Saga to find out who won, how, and what came next.

In this book, Cyrus the Great and His Empire, author F.G.Ghamsari writes the story of equality, freedom, and the establishment of human rights (600-530BC). Two thousand five hundred years later, equality remains a conflict and justice does not exist. Unfairness is the way of life and persecution of innocents with a guilty conviction feeds the corrupted regimes of many countries. Black Lives Matter is indicative that even acclaimed the greatest nation ever, the United States, needs to improve the conditions of equality and human rights. The story began when the king ordered an infant to be put to death but by help of a shepherd, that child stayed alive and became a king, named Cyrus, who changed unjust rules. Violence against a defeated nation for rulers was haughty as Nebuchadnezzar leader of Babylon wrote, “I ordered one hundred thousand eyes pulled out...” He was proud to bring fifteen thousand Jew prisoners to Babylon. Cyrus came and averted these tyrannies. Whether we believe words of the Holy Bible or trace his actions, the result would be the same that Cyrus, “the Messiah”, was to carry on a “Divine Mission”, benefiting humanity forever.

Shahnameh is a lengthy epic poem which vividly intertwines the mythical and historical history of Persia, thereby enchanting and impressing readers for many centuries. Originally composed by Abolqasem Ferdowsi in the 10th century, the Shahnameh enjoys the distinction of being the longest epic poem by a single author in existence. The verses took Ferdowsi over three decades to complete. Although it draws heavily from established mythology and the historical archives of Persia, Ferdowsi also imbues the poem's story with his own vivid inventions and plot devices. The entire poem is intended as a history of Persia from the earliest times until the Islamic Conquest of the country, which occurred about 350 years before Ferdowsi composed his epic. The verses proceed chronologically, beginning with the creation of the Earth, through the establishment of Zoroastrianism as the first monotheistic faith in the region, with the principle characters being various great generals and rulers. Ferdowsi divides his masterpiece into three parts: The Mythical Age; which accounts for God creating Earth and the earliest emergence of man in the Middle East, and the establishment of early traditions such as feasting. The Heroic Age; wherein the Persian Empire's conquests, triumphs and battles are detailed, alongside the lives and exploits of its greatest heroes. Finally, the Historical Age; which relates the Sassanid Empire's history of with much attention to accepted facts and overall accuracy. This edition of the Shahnameh contains the verses in English, plus explanatory narrations of the general plot and a series of informative notes which explain certain passages. The authoritative and well-informed translation to English by James Atkinson sensitively ensures that the subjects and the message of each part is clearly communicated. In modern-day Iran, the Shahnameh is regarded as a great work of literature for its encompassing plot. The heroism, valiance and achievements of the Persian civilization are retrospectively grouped together in a splendid chronicle of the nation's finest times. Taken as a whole, the great poem offers people living in Persia and modern-day Iran ample reason for national pride.

The most influential account of the career of Alexander the Great was penned by Cleitarchus decades after Alexander's death. But every copy was destroyed in antiquity and only derivatives survive. Now the work is revived in a riveting reconstruction based upon ancient works that it inspired. This volume covers Alexander's conquest of the Persians, from the Battle of Issus in 333BC to the death of Darius in July 330BC. This was when the earth began to shake at Alexander's tread and everything began to seem possible. It was to this that Christopher Marlowe alluded when he asked, 'Is it not passing brave to be a king and ride in triumph through Persepolis?' Yet often in Cleitarchus' account Alexander had to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Greatly outnumbered at Issus, he was also outflanked and encircled at Gaugamela. He nearly abandoned the siege of Tyre and he almost died when he was lost in the Libyan desert. This is the thrilling tale of Alexander's successive triumphs in the face of dire adversity.

The Greeks called him Cyrus, the Elder, due to his magnanimous efforts to bring the Middle East together and establish a solid administration and bureaucracy. To this day, he still inspires us thanks to his tolerance and eloquent ruling. He was a pioneer of human rights and laid out rules that spearheaded freedom and equality. Cyrus was recognized as a polytheist who favored worshipping many gods at a time. He turned from one god to another, according to his agenda and circumstances. He prayed to a god who could fulfill his desire and lead him to victory, which was noted during his rule in Babylonia. The former Babylonian ruler did not allow his people to worship their god and imposed hard labor, making life unbearable for thousands, but when Cyrus overtook the throne, he allowed Babylonia's people to follow their religion and worship their god, which increased their trust and admiration in Cyrus.

The chronicles of Darius the Great are some of the greatest annals in Persian history. In about 600 B.C., the founder of the Persian Empire, Cyrus the Great was on a campaign to expand his dominion and obtain some additional glory by defeating certain uncivilized tribes to the north, beyond the Araxes. One night, after he had crossed a mighty river, on the way to his triumphs, he had a remarkable dream. His dream was that Darius, the son of one of his advisers, and a non-heir to the throne, appeared to him with vast wings growing from his shoulders, overshadowing the whole known world. To Cyrus, it seemed that Darius would eventually hold sway over his empire, and immediately sent for Hystaspes, the father of Darius, to keep a close eye on him until such a time as Cyrus could return. Cyrus, in fact, was killed in a battle, never to return. The heir-ship was passed to one of Cyrus? two rightful sons, Cambyses.Under his new reign, Cambyses undertook to expand his empire and conquer new lands. He set his sights on Egypt, whose king he felt, had betrayed his father in a convoluted scheme. While there he achieved great victories against the people of Egypt, however, on his way back, he heard of a conspiracy that his brother Smerdis had been killed and an impostor had usurped the throne back in Susa, the capital city. A local magician also named Smerdis who bore a remarkable likeness to the heir, had taken his place. In his haste to return to the capital, and with great irony, Cambyses suffered a nasty wound while mounting his horse as his blade fell from its sheath. Unfortunately, the wound turned out to be fatal, and the impersonator was then firmly in power.Amongst the conspirators that helped put the false Smerdis in power, was the distant cousin of Cambyses, and thus of Cyrus, the same Darius who appeared in the prophetic vision which Cyrus had dreamt of some time before. In the end, a contest was decided to determine the next king of the Persian Empire. As the story goes, Darius played a deception at the competition, and thus succeeded to the throne, and the rest, as they say, is history. The narrative of his achievements were first found, engraved in multiple scripts, high on a rock wall in on Behistun mountain, on the main highway between present-day Iraq and Iran. First discovered in 1621 by an Italian traveler, it wasn?t until the early 18th century that Sir Henry Rawlinson was able to use the trilingual translation to finally unlock the secrets of cuneiform writing, and thus the fertile history of the Middle East.
