Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History, Vol. 4: Imperial Antiquity Neither Herodotus, Xenophon, nor Ctesias satisfy us as to the real life and character Of Cyrus. This re nowned name represents, however, the Persian power, the last of the great monarchies that ruled the Ori ental world until its conquest by the Greeks. Persia came suddenly into prominence in the middle of the seventh century before Christ. Prior to this time it was comparatively unknown and unimportant, and was one of the dependent provinces of Media, whose re ligion, language, and customs were not very dissimi lar to its own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 559-529 B.C. ASIATIC SUPREMACY. One of the most prominent and romantic characters in the history of the Oriental world, before its conquest by Alexander of Macedon, is Cyrus the Great; not as a sage or prophet, not as the founder of new religious systems, not even as a law-giver, but as the founder and organizer of the greatest empire the world has seen, next to that of the Romans. The territory over which Cyrus bore rule extended nearly three thousand miles from east to west, and fifteen hundred miles from north to south, embracing the principal nations known to antiquity, so that he was really a king of kings. He was practically the last of the great Asiatic emperors, absorbing in his dominions those acquired by the Assyrians, the Babylonians, and the Lydians. He was also the first who brought Asia into intimate contact with Europe and its influences, and thus may be regarded as the link between the old Oriental world and the Greek civilization.
