This campaign proved so successful that the overt display of Alexander?s Iranian and Zoroastrian preferences alienated some of his Greek and Macedonian allies. Parivash Jamzadeh shows how this original propaganda material displayed multiple layers of Iranian influences. Additionally she demonstrates that the studied sources do not always offer an accurate account of the contemporary Iranian customs, and occasionally included historical inaccuracies. One of the most interesting finds in this study is the confusion of historical sources that arose between the opponents Darius III and Alexander. Jamzadeh argues that the Iranian propaganda regarding Alexander the Great has contributed to this confusion. 410 0$aStudies in Persian Cultural History$v3. 607 $aGreece$xHistory$yMacedonian Expansion, 359-323 B.C$xCampaigns$zIran 607 $aIran$xHistory$yMacedonian Conquest, 334-325 B.C$xHistoriography 607 $aIran$xHistory$yMacedonian Conquest, 334-325 B.C$xPropaganda 607 $aIran$xHistory$yMacedonian Conquest, 334-325 B.C$xReligious aspects 607 $aIran$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a935/.7062 700 $aJamzadeh$b Parivash$0944407 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462108003321 996 $aAlexander histories and Iranian reflections$92131894 997 $aUNINA
