Persophilia refers to the appreciation and love of Iranian culture, people or history. One of the most prominent Persophiles was the British literary historian, E. G. Browne, who participated in the Iranian Constitutional Revolution in 1906. ==Origins== Greek leaders who gave themselves Persian titles or names were considered Persophiles.〔 (Online Version ) 〕 Sidonian kings whose governmental policies gave special rights to the Persians may also be referred to as persophiles.〔 (Online Version ) 〕 The earliest use of the word "persophile" may have been by the Royal Numismatic Society in 1838;〔 (Online Version )〕 it referred to a king of Marium which is in modern-day Cyprus. The opposite of Persophilia is anti-Iranianism. Admiration of the Persians was especially high during the Achaemenid dynasty. For example, Cyrus the Great was the only Gentile to be considered a Messiah.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Persophilia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
