Ancient India as described by Ktesias the Knidian (revised, newly composed text edition)
Language: English
Published by Dev Publishers & Distributors, 2024
ISBN 10: 9359440086 ISBN 13: 9789359440088
Soft cover. Condition: New. The book 'Ancient India as Described by Ktesian the Knidian' by John W. McCrindle offers a unique perspective on India through the lens of Ktesias, a native of Knidos and a member of the Asklêpiadai, a priestly caste with a hereditary profession in medicine. Ktesias, a contemporary of Hippocrates, spent 17 years in Persia, serving as a physician to the royal court under Darius II and Artaxerxes Mnemon. Among Ktesias's various works, the most significant was his history of Persia, written in 23 books. Unfortunately, this work is lost, but Phôtios provided a brief abstract of its contents. Another notable work was the 'Indika' focused on India, which is also lost but abridged by Phôtios, with fragments preserved by other writers like Elian. Ktesias's 'Indika' aimed to capture India's essence, drawing from reports of Persian officials and possibly Indian sources.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. Ancient India is a collection of personal accounts written by Megasthenes and Arrian. This is a classic text on the ancient geography of India translated in English by John W. McCrindle. The account of India written by Megasthenes from his personal knowledge of the country is justly held to be almost invaluable for the light which it throws upon the obscurity of early Indian history. A translation of the first part of the Indika of Arrian has been subjoined, both because it gives in a connected form a general description of India, and because that description was based chiefly on the work of Megasthenes.
