View through CrossRef
Abstract
Cyrus the Great, son of Cambyses (I), ruled 559–530 bce and founded the Achaemenid Persian Empire. From the core region of Anshan (i.e., Parsa, Greek Persis), Cyrus acquired territories stretching from Central Asia to Anatolia and the Levant. Cyrus’s victories over the Medes, Lydians, and Babylonians were key milestones in the evolution of the empire. Cyrus also founded a new capital, Pasargadae, in Parsa. He was one of few rulers whose portrayal was consistently positive in multiple traditions: Iranian, Babylonian, Judaean, and Greek.
