Women and leadership in Ctesias’ Persica. A feminist reading.
My PhD thesis consists of a historical and literary commentary with translation of Ctesias of Cnidus’ Persica. It will analyse the dynamics within the role Iranian royal women had in Achaemenid Persia, as well as their use of soft-power and their exercise of leadership.
