Title: Perses (son of Perseus)
Content:  In Greek mythology, Perses (Ancient Greek: Πέρσης) was the son of Andromeda and Perseus. Perses was left in Cossaei and with the Oceanid Perse fathered descendants. Greek mythology identified Perses as the ancestor of the Persians. Apparently the Persians knew the story as Xerxes tried to use it to bribe the Argives during his invasion of Greece, but ultimately failed to do so. The (Pseudo-)Platonic dialogue First Alcibiades (120e), written in the late 4th-century BC, identifies him with Achaemenes as the hero-founder of the Persái, stating both Achaemenes and Heracles were sons of Perseus.

The Shah ordered him to execute Erik after Erik provided his services in construction for 
Title: Persica (Ctesias)
Content:  It is generally agreed that Ctesias was influenced by the earlier writers of the Persica tradition. More importantly, he seems to have been the first Greek writer to view Persia from within, as a long-standing member of the Persian court. As such, he also seems to have had access to the “royal archives” and “royal parchments.” The existence of such administrative documents in Persia remains contested. Additionally, it is not known whether Ctesias knew Old Persian (or whichever language was in use at the court), and, even if he knew the language, it is generally doubted that he could read the cuneiform. Interestingly, it has been argued that the most important source for Ctesias’ work might 
Title: Perses (Titan)
Content:  In Greek mythology, Perses was the son of the Titan Crius and Eurybia. His name is derived from the Ancient Greek word perthō (πέρθω – "to sack", "to ravage", "to destroy"). He was wed to Asteria, the daughter of Phoebe and Coeus, with whom he had one child, Hecate, honoured by Zeus above all others as the goddess of magic, crossroads, and witchcraft.

Content:  have been preserved in their entirety. Ctesias seems to have been the earliest writer to attempt to write Persian history after Herodotus. Ctesias’ Persica has often been seen as a response to Herodotus. According to Photius, who was still able to read him, in Persica Ctesias: "gives an account of Cyrus, Cambyses, the Magian, Darius, and Xerxes, in which he differs almost entirely from Herodotus, whom he accuses of falsehood in many passages and calls an inventor of fables (trans. Rene Henry)" Many scholars accept that the relation of Ctesius’ Persica to Herodotus was antagonistic. Other scholars, such as Bichler, think that Ctesias parodied Herodotus and wrote “like a kind of persiflage and… not a serious attempt to correct Herodotus.”
