To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
court -officers ~ walk in pro- cession with the tributary satraps, or else (fig. 129) the "king of kings" him- self, calm and impassive like a Colossus whom nothing can terrify, plunges his dagger, without moving a muscle PERSIAN ART.
163 of his face, into the heart of a lion, a bull or a fantastic animal, which rises erect upon its hind legs, ready to devour him. Do not the exaggerated muscles of the beast betray a servile copy of the Assyrian monsters ?
Elsewhere, on the wall which borders th...e staircase of the palace of Darius, a lion devours a bull (fig. 130); he bites him on the thigh, and furiously digs his powerful claws into his haunches.
Though the lifelike attitude of the two animals strikes us, it reminds us, at the same time, of the Chaldaso- Assy- rian cylinders in which a similar subject is reproduced, the staircase, with their hands Fig. 131. — Bas-relief from Persepolis (after Flandin and Coste).
Farther on, on the same wall of servants appear to mount the stairs, loaded with presents of all kinds which they are about to oifer to the "king of kings" ; Assyrian sculptures contain analogous scenes.
