This project aims to investigate classical Greek depictions of Persians and their mythological cognates across the 200 years of the Persian Empire. The mid-sixth century BC Persian conquest of West Asia introduced a dangerous neighbour to the Aegean. The historical record focuses on enmity between Athenians and Persians, especially after the Persians sacked Athens in 480-79. The unofficial record, however, tells a different story. Representations in Greek vase-painting exhibit a range of psychological responses beyond hostility, including accommodation and curiosity. The project will yield insight into changes in private thought as well as public representation and undercut the dominant paradigm that presumes enmity is the basic form of cultural exchange.

该项目旨在调查波斯帝国 200 年来希腊古典对波斯人及其神话同源物的描述。公元前六世纪中叶，波斯人对西亚的征服给爱琴海带来了一个危险的邻居。历史记录主要集中在雅典人和波斯人之间的敌对，特别是在波斯人于 480-79 年洗劫雅典之后。然而，非官方记录却讲述了一个不同的故事。希腊花瓶画中的表现形式表现出敌意之外的一系列心理反应，包括适应和好奇心。该项目将深入了解私人思想和公共代表的变化，并削弱认为敌意是文化交流基本形式的主导范式。
