Sinopsis

Operum Reliquiae is a collection of the remaining works and fragments attributed to Ctesias of Cnidus, a Greek physician and historian who lived in the late 5th and early 4th centuries BC. Primarily known for his accounts of Persia and India, Ctesias? writings offer a unique, though often debated, perspective on the ancient world. This edition, edited by Johann Christian Felix Bähr, presents the available texts in Latin, providing scholars and students access to these important historical sources.Ctesias?s narratives, while sometimes fantastical, offer valuable insights into the perceptions and knowledge of the ancient Greeks regarding foreign lands and cultures. This volume is essential for those studying ancient history, classical literature, and the transmission of knowledge in the ancient world. The Reliquiae provides crucial, if fragmented, evidence for understanding the interactions between Greece and the empires of the East.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
