Parthia
was an ancient empire of Asia, in what are now Iran and
Afghanistan. The Parthians were of Scythian descent, and
adopted Median dress and Aryan speech. They were excellent
horsemen and archers. In battle, mounted Parthians often
discharged their arrows back toward the enemy while pretending
to flee; this is the origin of the phrase "a Parthian shot."
Parthia was subject successively to the Assyrians, Medes,
Persians, and Macedonians under Alexander the Great, and
Seleucids.
