    I ran into an Iranian version of Ivkhan on my blog recently and we have been having an enjoyable debate about Parthian vs Persian with significant sidebars.  The thread is here about the Battle of Carrhae and the more I look at it the more fun I am having pulling this guy's chain.  Ski, Phid, and Donnie, you guys ought to jump in as well.  I am not advocating the abandonment of WCF here, just join in the fun in this instance.

    This guy is Iranian and got ten different kinds of offended when I equated Parthians with Persians.(not the exact same thing I know, but at least in the same ballpark)

    One man's Mede is another man's Persian — to coin a pun.  😀

    Okay, flattered -- I would never post the stuff I want to protect. I used it in an unsold treatment of a Mel Brooks style comedy set in Babylon at the time of Belshazzar. Played havoc with Herodotus.
