S02E09: Cyrus the Great and the Rise of Persia - a podcast by Brady J. Crytzer

Despite its humble beginnings, the Persian Empire would
become the largest political force in world history. Although remembered for
its lavish building projects and continuous cultural achievements, the Persian
world would not have been possible if not for the efforts of one man. Known as
Cyrus the Great, this ruler reshaped the world and built the first empire to
rule of three river valleys simultaneously. From the Nile to the Indus, Cyrus
was one of the only people to truly be deserving of the title great. On this
episode we discuss Cyrus rise to power and the birth of the Persian Empire.
