I. The Sasanid Empire, 224–651 A. Politics and Society 1. The Sasanid kingdom was established in 224 and controlled the areas of Iran and Mesopotamia. The Sasanids confronted Arab pastoralists on their Euphrates border and the Byzantine Empire on the west. Relations with the Byzantines alternated between war and peaceful trading relationships. In times of peace, the Byzantine cities of Syria and the Arab nomads who guided caravans between the Sasanid and Byzantine Empires all flourished on trade. Arabs also benefited from the invention of the camel saddle, which allowed them to take control of the caravan trade. 2. The Iranian hinterland was ruled by a largely autonomous local aristocracy that did not, however, pose a threat to the stability of the Sasanid Empire.

Iliad Author, Selection & Connection Summaries Author Summary: Oral poetry was developed in Greece before writing was, so the poetry was either memorized or improvised depending on the poet/actor as long as they had the basic plot line it worked. When writing finally appeared, the poems were written down. Even though people consider Homer the greatest oral poet of his time, no one knows anything about him for sure. Legend says that he was blind, and that he composed the two building blocks of epic poetry, the Iliad and the Odyssey, which in are presumed to have originated in the 7th or 8th century BCE.
