History

Tomyris was the warrior queen of the Massagetae. She is said to have personally led her troops into battle to defend her lands against Cyrus the Great of the Achaemenid Empire after Cyrus captures her son in an earlier battle. Most historians say she defeated and killed Cyrius in 530 BCE. To quench Cyrus’ thirst for blood, she beheaded him and thereafter kept his head in a blood-filled wineskin.
