In the vast expanse of the Eurasian steppe, where rivers carved their paths through open grasslands and mounted confederations guarded the frontiers of their world, a queen confronted one of antiquity's most formidable conquerors.

Tomyris: Queen of the Massagetae examines the historical and geopolitical confrontation between the Massagetae and Cyrus the Great of Persia in the sixth century BC. Drawing upon classical sources, particularly Herodotus, alongside archaeological and frontier studies, this work reconsiders the encounter not as legend alone but as a decisive moment in the early struggle between territorial empire and mobile steppe sovereignty.
