Josef Wiesehofer, Kiel University A pleasure to read. Waters opens new paths in Ctesian studies, showing that the Persica is not merely the product of a Greek playing literary games, but may actually have its origins in genuine documents from the ancient Near East. Jan Pieter Stronk, editor and translator of Ctesias Persian History, Part 1
