Cyrus, from Myth to Reality
Abstract
Cyrus is the king whose history has become poetry. The narrations presented about him and his performance are not compatible with the personality of the ruler who has spent all his life engaged in the seizure of other countries. But where have the roots of these narratives originated from in which Cyrus and the entire Persians empire have been interpreted in terms of kindness and instead of plunder, have been marked with the scientific and historical badge? Why did such an aggressive person become known as a savior? The objective of this essay is to discuss how was the story of Cyrus' human rights constructed.
