In our research that we are trying to reveal the place and roles the Hadiths have taken over in the Persian Palace life, the information provided by the ancient Hellenic and Roman sources was primarily used. Although the information about the hadiths is found in many civilizations in Asia, Anatolia and the Far East, early written documents have appeared in the Chinese Shang and Ming dynasties. The act of harassment in Persia was used in the beginning as a method of punishment, but we can follow the positive and negative roles of the harassment in the Persian Palace through sources such as Herodotus, Diodoros, Ksenophon, Ktesias, Plutarchos and Platon. The Persians, where we see the traces of the life of the near-Eastern palace, actually carry many characteristics of the traditional Med palace concept that they used to before. It is clear that the hadiths are persian people who live near the king and his family in the Persian Palace life. The information provided by ancient sources also shows parallelity in this matter. Under the titles we classify as private life, servicing and education, when we examine in detail the roles of the hadiths in the Persian Palace life, we see the characters who take on important tasks, including servicing. The hadiths who dominate the secret information of the palace, knowing what is in the harem, and who are responsible for the secret and order of life in the harem, while standing out with their faithfulness in the times when the Persian Empire was strong, have become more negative characters with the process of the fall of the empire.

We aim to reveal the place and roles of castrated people in Persian palace life within scope of current research based on the information primarily given by the sources of Ancient Greek and Rome. Although information on eunuchs may be provided by many civilizations in Asia Minor, Asia and the Far East, the earliest written documents appeared in the Shang and Ming dynasties in China. Although the act of castration in the Persians was originally used as a method of punishment, we can follow the positive-negative roles of the castrated in the Persian palace through sources not limited with Herodotos, Diodoros, Xenophon, Ktesias, Plutarch and Plato. The Persians, on which we see the traces of the Near East palace life, actually bear a large number of properties of the traditional Med palace approach and conventions familiar to them. It is clear that the eunuchs are the people who are closest to the king and his family in Persian palace life which is overwhelmingly supported by evidence provided in ancient resources. Detaile inspection of the roles of castrated people in Persian palace life under the titles we classified as private life, servantism and education reveals characters with important duties including service. The eunuchs, who are aware of the secret information of the palace, had a command of what is happening in the harem and were responsible for the privacy and order of the life in the harem, were initially loyal figures in bright days of empire, later turning into more negative characters with the collapse of the empire.
