What does /his/ think of Cyrus?

Based af

Alexander should have destroyed his tomb.

>>2558266
>Alexander admired Cyrus, from an early age reading Xenophon's Cyropaedia, which described Cyrus's heroism in battle and governance as a king and legislator

>>2558266
Alexander was a weak imitation of Cyrus

>>2558248
>O man, whoever you are and wherever you come from, for I know you will come, I am Cyrus who won the Persians their empire. Do not therefore begrudge me this bit of earth that covers my bones.
Well then, I was expecting a more braggadocio epitaph. I mean there seems to be a sense of humbleness to it.

He was proclaimed a Messiah by the Jews.

Guess divine intervention, considering the region not only suffered wars for millenia but also natural disasters like earthquakes

>didn't even conquer Egypt
into the trash it goes

>>2559226
He overthrew the Medes and conquered the Lydians and the Babylonians
Give him a break

his son made up for it

I find it hilarious the jews who wrote the Jewish Bible hold him to such high regard in it as some great deliverer of the Babylonian Captivity when he was just a dude who wanted to conquer shit
History is amazing

He was just, and helped oppressed people, gave freedom of religion, gave the first humanitirian chart, what else did ancient people want.

0/10. I'm not going to humor your shitpost.

Cambyses literally turned egypt against the persians forever by sacking their tombs, defiling their temples and smashing their carvings because animal gods was too spoopy for him. He died (((mysteriously))) as a result and then it caused the great revolt.

Egyptfags kept revolting all the way the alexander and they all kek'd IRL when the persians finally bit the dust. Fuck Cambyses.

Somehow made a country that was more progressive than many other countries further down the track in history

So what happened to the body? Was it headless as to confirm the Tomyris story?

What's the connection between Muhammad's tribe and Iranian King?

>>2560681
He was held in high regard by many peoples of his times, it's just that the Jewish account survived. He took over oppressive messopotamina empires and made the globalized networks they created to work for everyone's favor. What's not to like than.
t. Jew

Cambyses wasn't actually particularly harsh as a ruler, and the Apis bull died when he wasn't even there. Egypt was just fiercely independent, and continued to revolt under the ptolemies
