Heritage of Persia
Richard N. Frye
The civilization of ancient Persia was among the most splendid, powerful and long
lasting of the great historical cultures. But our knowledge of it is all too often
confined to a few masterpieces of early Persian art and the Persians' role of Goliath to
the Greeks' David. The Heritage of Persia is based on a firsthand study of the sources
archaeological, documentary and linguistic and provides a scholarly, readable and
absorbing account of 2,500 years of Persian history and culture.
