Around 559 BCE a Persian king named Cyrus rose from the Iranian highlands and, in barely twenty years, conquered the Medes, wealthy Lydia, and mighty Babylon - forging the largest empire the world had yet seen, stretching from the Aegean Sea toward India. But Cyrus is remembered less for how much he conquered than for how he ruled: letting subject peoples keep their gods and customs, and freeing the exiled Judeans of Babylon to return home and rebuild their Temple. This is the true story of the first world empire - and an honest reckoning with the legends, from the famous Cyrus Cylinder to the disputed tales of his birth and death.
