Reimagines the Scythians as highly mobile cultural innovators.

The Scythians offers a bold new take on the horse-riding peoples who once inhabited the vast steppe lands from the Black Sea to the Siberian Altai. Drawing on archaeological finds, ancient texts, and comparative insights, Caspar Meyer shows how these communities forged dynamic networks rooted in art, mobility, and interspecies relationships. He brings ancient and modern encounters with the Scythians into dialogue--from Herodotus' ethnography to modernist art and contemporary national imagination--revealing how their literary and visual afterlives continue to shape our understanding. Long reduced to barbarian stereotypes, the Scythians emerge as cultural innovators and co-creators of Eurasian history. Lively, accessible, and thought-provoking, this book opens up a world where people and things move together in unexpected and transformative ways.
