Xenophontis philosophi et imperatoris clarissimi historiarum de Cyri Majoris institutione libri octo - Xenophon; Amelburn, John L. (London Redmayne, 1703)
Cyrus II of Persia (c. 600–530 BC) commonly known as Cyrus the Great, was the founder of the Achaemenid Empire, the First Persian Empire. Under his rule the empire embraced all of the previous civilized states of the ancient Near East, expanded vastly and eventually conquered most of Western Asia and much of Central Asia. Spanning from the Mediterranean Sea and Hellespont in the west to the Indus River in the east, the empire created by Cyrus was the largest the world had yet seen.
