Cyrus of Persia became king by founding the Achaemenid Empire after uniting the Persian tribes under his leadership around 550 BCE. He initially overthrew the Median Empire, which had dominated Persia, and then expanded his territory by conquering neighboring lands, including Lydia and Babylon. His effective military strategies and diplomatic alliances solidified his power and established him as a significant ruler in ancient history. Cyrus is often celebrated for his policies of tolerance and respect for local customs and religions.
