Greek Perspectives on the Achaemenid Empire

Persia Through the Looking Glass

By: Morgan Janett Morgan

How did the Greek view of Persia and Persians change so radically in the archaic and classical Greek sources that they turned from noble warriors into peacock-loving cross-dressers with murderous mothers? This book looks at the development of a range of responses to the Achaemenids and their Empire. Through a study of ancient texts and material evidence from the archaic and classical periods, Janett Morgan investigates the historical, political and social factors that inspired and manipulated different identities for Persia and the Persians within Greece.Key Features:an interdisciplinary approach to investigating cultural contact and cultural exchange to explore the Greek response to Persiaoffers unique insights into the role of Greek social elites and political communities in creating different representations of the Achaemenid Persians and their EmpireKeywords

Transvestism and Cross Dressing

Current Views

Why do I like dressing in women's clothes?", "Why does my husband want to dress in my clothes, use my jewellery - my make-up?" These and a host of other questions are asked by transvestites themselves and by their loved ones. Public perceptions are formed by a generally unhelpful portrayal by the media, while textbooks inevitably approach the subject from a pathologising viewpoint.This book is a collection of articles by professional writers and by participants in this much misunderstood activity. It aims to answer some of the questions in a more detailed manner than is possible on the helpline, while being non-directive and non-judgmental - and without being an apologia.
