History

Cyrus II, better known as Cyrus the Great, founded the ancient Persian Empire. He was the son of a petty king in the southwest of modern Iran, but a series of glorious victories brought him control of Media, Lydia, and Babylonia. Cyrus unified most of the Middle East and then built an empire from the Mediterranean to India.

Cyrus was a genius in military affairs, but also a merciful ruler. Having defeated his grandfather in battle, who wanted to kill his grandson, Cyrus gave him life. And having captured Babylon, he freed all the slaves there and allowed them to return to their homeland.
