520 8 |a Cyrus the Great was a transformational figure: an exceptional leader, general and visionary. He was also the founder of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, which dominated the world stage from the Mediterranean to the Indus during the 6th through 4th centuries BCE. When Cyrus took the royal title 'King of the World' in 539 BCE, it was closer to a literal reality than for any ruler before him in history. This book treats the stories of Cyrus' birth, conquests and reign through multiple perspectives, grounded in analysis of ancient sources from the Persians, Elamites, Babylonians, Judeans and Greeks.
