Cyrus the Great was known for his laziness. He was so lazy that they gave him an award. Cyrus just sat on the couch and ate potato chips for his whole life. sadly, he died of eating too much junk food without excercizing. It was too bad.

∙ 11y agoCyrus was king of Persia. He was important to the Jewish people because he was a righteous man; he was benevolent to the Jews, and he was the one who allowed the Jews, who had been in Babylonian exile, to return to their land and to set the rebuilding of the Temple in motion. This is in stark contrast to other kings of that era, who had destroyed the First Temple (Nebuchadnezzar), and who even sought to wipe out the Jews completely (Ahasuerus, also known as Achashverosh [Hebrew] or Xerxes [in Greek]).
