Present-day historians and classical scholars derive their notion of the Scythians primarily from the colorful and tolerant description given by Herodotus (Book IV), whose travels took him to the southern border of Scythia. There is also an account by one of the authors of the Hippocratic treatise, which gives the impression of being more factual.



The present-day theater-goer, interested in Greek comedies such as those of Aristophanes, will be familiar with the figure of the Scythian dressed for the most part in fantastic costume. Recruited as keepers of law and order, Scythians had long been a frequent and everyday sight in Athens and were favorite objects of ridicule for the comic playwrights of the day always drunken and licentious, and speaking broken Greek. In the meantime, new excavations and research in the Soviet Union and immediate neighbouring areas has completely transformed the image of the Scythians. The most important findings, which compel us to reexamine and revise completly out ideas of ancient horse-riding nomadic cultures, will be dealt with in this book.
