| "My aim in these studies is to search for evidence of oriental opposition to hellenic imperialism, to discover its causes & the ways it was advocated & justified, to show what forms it took, & to find out what effects it had, both immediate & more far-reaching. The resistance, as I hope to show, was justified almost universally in religious terms, especially from the point of view of the oriental theology about kingship (ä) Makedonian & Greek imperialism was an attack on the all-ruling gods of the East (ä) The eastern regions examined are : Persis, the other parts of Iran, Mesopotamia, Syria, Anatolia, Jewish Palestine, the settlements of Jews elsewhere in the ancien world, and Egypt". |
