Ancient India As Described By Ktesias the Knidian: Being A Translation of the Abridgement of His "Indika" By Photios, and of the Fragments of that Work Preserved in Other Writers - Gyan Books
About The Book: Ancient India As Described by Ktesias the Knidian is a translation of the lost Greek text Indika, originally written by Ktesias, a 5th-century BCE physician at the Persian court. The work is known through a later epitome by Byzantine scholar Photios and fragments in other classical sources. It offers a vivid, though highly imaginative and often fantastical, account of India. The text mixes myth and fact—describing giant ants, gold-digging creatures, and strange races alongside real animals like elephants and parrots. While lacking historical accuracy, the book is a valuable window into ancient Greek perceptions and early Western myths about India.
