The Seleucid Empire presided over one of the most pivotal and creative periods of Iranian history, a fact that has often been elided or misunderstood in both ancient and modern historiography. Iran and the Transformation of Ancient Near Eastern History examines the Seleucid Empire within the context of ancient Iranian history from an interdisciplinary standpoint and seeks to integrate it more fully into the history of Iranian empires. It brings together a wide variety of perspectives, including landscape archaeology, art history, cuneiform studies, as well as political, economic, maritime and religious history. This volume presents the contributions of the conference on the same topic organized by the editors of this volume, which took place on February 24th–25th 2020 at the University of California Irvine (Dr. Samuel M. Jordan Center for Iranian Studies), the third in the series of the “Payravi Conferences on Ancient Iranian History”.

Beyond Alexandria aims to provide a better understanding of Seleucid literature, covering the period from Seleucus I to Antiochus III. Despite the historical importance of the Seleucid Empire during the long third century BCE, little attention has been devoted to its literature. The works of authors affiliated with the Seleucid court have tended to be overshadowed by works coming out of Alexandria, emerging from the court of the Ptolemies, the main rivals of the Seleucids. This book makes two key points, both of which challenge the idea that "Alexandrian" literature is coterminous with Hellenistic literature as a whole. First, the book sets out to demonstrate that a distinctly strand of writing emerged from the Seleucid court, characterized by shared perspectives and thematic concerns. Second, Beyond Alexandria explores how Seleucid literature was significant on the wider Hellenistic stage. Specifically, it shows that the works of Seleucid authors influenced and provided counterpoints to writers based in Alexandria, including key figures such as Eratosthenes and Callimachus. For this reason, the literature of the Seleucids is not only interesting in its own right; it also provides an important entry point for furthering our understanding of Hellenistic literature in general.

Die iranischen Gebiete, die seit dem Asienfeldzug Alexanders III. in den griechischen Fokus gerückt waren und Teil des Seleukidenreiches wurden, weisen auf Grund ihrer polyethnischen Bevölkerungsstruktur, ihrer kulturellen Vielfalt und ihrer multiplexen lokalpolitischen Strukturen in hellenistischer Zeit den größten Spannungsbogen zwischen Ost und West auf. Im Gegensatz zu den übrigen, hauptsächlich makedonisch geprägten hellenistischen Großreichen standen die Seleukiden daher vor der Aufgabe, ihre Herrschaftsausübung in den ‚Oberen Satrapien‘ an die indigenen Traditionen anzupassen und sich so gegenüber der griechisch-makedonischen und der lokalen Bevölkerung in gleicher Weise zu legitimieren.Um die Spezifika der Seleukidenherrschaft in den östlichen Satrapien herauszustellen, widmet sich die vorliegende Studie dem strukturellen Aufbau der seleukidischen Herrschaft in den östlichen Satrapien und der Interaktion zwischen den Herrschern, ihren Satrapen oder Funktionären und lokalen Dynasten bzw. der lokalen Bevölkerung im Osten. Zudem fragt sie nach einem langfristigen Konzept, das dem multikulturellen und polyethnischen Charakter des östlichen Teils des Seleukidenreiches Rechnung trug und dadurch eine eigene seleukidische Form der monarchischen Herrschaft entwickelte, die sich aus Rückgriffen auf fremde Traditionen, persönliche politische Erfahrungen und der im westlichen Raum verbreiteten hellenistischen Monarchie zusammensetzte.
