A guide to the Achaemenid Persian empire for reenactors, focusing on the Graeco-Persian Wars period. A quick guide to Persian history, society, religion, military, clothing and culture, plus links to reenactment groups and commemorations of the 2,500th anniversary of the Graeco-Persian Wars.
It's yet again a bit tangential, but I would be remiss if I didn't share with you one of the most poignant moments in all of Greek tragedy. In my opinion, this alone is enough to justify keeping Classical theater alive in the 21st century.
