Abstract

The nature and even the existence of the Median empire has been the subject of controversy for a number of years. The present article revisits (I) Herodotus’ account, (II) certain items of indirect evidence, and (III) the non-Greek pre-Achaemenid material provided by texts (neo-Assyrian, neo-Babylonian and Hebrew) and archaeology (especially Anatolian) and argues the legitimacy of belief in Median domination in regions outside lowland Mesopotamia.
