Sguardi incrociati greco-scitici

Summary/Abstract: Over time, the Greek world repeatedly changed its opinion of the Scythians. Originally the Greeks regarded them as a just and egalitarian society, whereas later they focused instead on their cruel and ferocious character, before finally stressing their invincibility. Similarly, the attitude of the Scythians towards the Greek world changed over time. This article examines the misunderstandings between two very different types of societies, as well as considering the Scythian vision of the Achaemenid world, albeit through Greek mediation.
