Professor John W.I. Lee’s field of expertise is in ancient Greece and West Asia, especially the Archaic-Classical Greek world and its relations with the Achaemenid Persian Empire. He is interested in the social and cultural aspects of ancient warfare as well as in the equipment, tactics, and logistics of ancient armies. His current research focuses on Achaemenid warfare and imperial politics in the late 400s-early 300s BCE. This lecture is part of the Duke University Emamian Lectureship Series.
