Abstract:
This volume showcases ways of displaying power in the Ancient world from Egypt's 18th Dynasty, encompassing ancient Greece, until the Sassanian Empire. It looks at how power was understood as the ability to influence others or events. This premise is applied to the Ancient world, analysing a variety of evidence and narratives from this period. The contributors explore the topic through themes such as art, mythology, literature, archaeology, and identity
