Özet:

by M. Born in Knidos in the 5th century, Ctesias was one of the important symbols of the period in which he received a very good education and won his life by doing medicine. Approximately M. During 400 years, he was taken to Persia and began to serve as a doctor for the royal family. During his stay in the Persian country, he wrote the Asur and Persian history, consisting of twenty-three books. Ctesias has widely talked about Ninus (Nemrut), the founder of the city of Ninova, and his stories have been frequently used by ancient writers. He cited from the works of the historians before him and revealed their shortcomings and errors. Although the works of Ctesias do not reach us, the stories of other ancient authors that have been quoted by it can be followed. Ctesias' narratives were seen as the main source for Asur and Persian history from the Hellenism period to the end of the Middle Ages. From the nineteenth century, when archaeological excavations were made in the Asur cities and the nail writing began to be read, it was revealed that the stories of Ctesias, which was previously considered great, were wrong. The names and events Ctesias mentioned have shaded his conviction that it was not found in the nail-written documents of that time. We will try to explain the important developments in Ninus' life by comparing the texts of ancient writers in our work.
