Legacies of Ancient Persia
On This Page
A Pourdavoud Podcast Production
A legacy consists of three critical elements: a past, a present, and a future. Join the Pourdavoud Institute as we explore elements of the many legacies of ancient Persia and their relevance to global patrimony.
Learn how the ancient Iranian civilization impacted its neighbors and how the interconnectivity of ancient cultures influenced Persia. Featuring interviews with thought leaders in academia, conversations with specialists in the entertainment industry who reimagine ancient worlds for modern society and round-table discussions that bring together a multiplicity of perspectives, we highlight Persia’s interactions with the wider ancient worlds and explore how this entangled history is received in the modern era.
Legacies of Ancient Persia is a Pourdavoud Podcast Production hosted and edited by Lexie Henning, with select episodes co-hosted by Marissa Stevens. Cover art provided by Hadley Leasman and original music by Brent Arehart.
