abstract

Herodotus was the first to try to present in an organic way the ethnic situation in the region north of the Black Sea and to define what is Scythian and what is not. The picture that emerges from his story remains very complex, as evidently the real ethnic situation was. From the second half of the nineteenth century, it has been discussed for a long time whether the peoples that Herodotus presents as Scythians, despite the attempt at systematization, do not actually represent an inhomogeneous group and whether this definition is therefore too general or at least as broad as that of the ancient Persian Sakā.
