dc.description.abstractThe satraps of Persia played a significant role in many affairs of the European Greek poleis. This dissertation contains a discussion of the ways in which the Persians treated the Hellenic states like subjects of the Persian empire, particularly following the expulsion of the Persian Invasion in 479 BCE. Chapter One looks at Persian authority both within the empire and among the Greeks. Chapter Two focuses on political corruption and acculturation due to extended cohabitation. Chapter Three discusses financial corruption and the loss of Hellenic identity through money. Chapter Four looks at the treatment of the Greek states as Persian subjects by means of diplomatic intervention. A brief conclusion states that the stability of the Persian Empire directly resulted in satrapal interest in expanding their borders and intervention in Greece. The treatment of the Greeks as if they were subjects of the empire provided a stabilizing influence to the Hellenic states despite the image of the Persians often depicted in literary sources.en_US
