Aristotle’s View of Persian Culture
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 day ago
In his treatise, *The Politics*, Aristotle’s focus is on the political structure of the Greek city-states, but in some passages he offers a scathing perspective on Persian despotism.

His anti-Persian sentiments might also be related to the torture and murder of his personal friend Hermeias (an associate of King Philip) by a Persian general. Aristotle lambasts Persia as a tyranny which ...
