Alexander Histories and Iranian Reflections - Remnants of Propaganda and Resistance

Parivash Jamzadeh demonstrates how the propaganda material used during Alexander the Great's military campaign to conquer the Achaemenid empire shows multiple layers of Iranian influences. She also shows that the studied sources do not always offer an accurate account of the contemporary Iranian customs and occasionally included historical inaccuracies.
