Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Achaemenid Empire, is celebrated for his military genius, statesmanship, and vision of tolerance. Born in 600 BCE in Persia, Cyrus united disparate tribes to create one of the largest empires in history. This biography explores his conquests, including the defeat of the Median Empire, and his policies of respect for local customs and religions, exemplified in his humane treatment of conquered peoples and the Cyrus Cylinder, a pioneering human rights charter. Cyrus’ leadership laid the foundation for a stable and diverse empire. His legacy as a benevolent ruler and visionary continues to inspire historians and leaders around the world.
