About this book

The work presented here is a historical commentary on an ancient biography of one of the Persian Great Kings (Artaxerxes II, reigned 404-359 BC). The author was the Greek scholar Plutarch (c. AD 45-120). The aim of the commentary is to make the text, which was written some 500 years after the events described, accessible as a source to the modern historian.

Reviews

"The main body of the commentary is valuable for both Classical and Near Eastern studies."
M. Weiskopf in: BMCR 2009.01.36

" Et, d'une manière génerale, celles-ci naissent autant de l'examen perspicace et détaillé des sources grecques et orientales et de leur confrontation, que de l'analyse critique de la bibliographie traitée par l'auteur avec grande maîtrise."
Daniel Donnet in: L'Antiquité Classique 78/2009
