Podcasts about cyrus the great

History sometimes has a habit of framing cultures as either heroes or villains, depending on the source. When it comes to Greek sources Herodotus "The Father of History", is kinda the go to when it comes to the period of antiquity. Every story needs a bad guy or a great evil to overcome, and when it comes to Herodotus his history was many times more fiction than fact. For the Greeks it was the vast and powerful Persian Empire coming to snuff out the light of the greek world. Weeeellllll...the Greeks were already doing a decent job of that themselves to be honest. While the first Persian Empire, established by the Acheamenid (Ack-a-men-id) Dynasty was central to the story of Greece "uniting", the Persians were across the Aegean doing some pretty incredible things. Founded by Cyrus the Great the Achaemenid Dynasty became the largest empire in the world during its time. Religious Tolerance, establishment of great road systems to carry trade and culture, the first mail system, a standardized monetary system based on the gold and silver, and a common language just to name a few. We owe a surprising amount of things in our modern world to this Empire. Tune in a find out just who were the Achaemenids and why maybe the Greeks kinda had it coming... Support the show

What can today's executives and business leaders learn from a ruler who lived 2,500 years ago? As it turns out, quite a lot. In this episode of Partnering Leadership, host Mahan Tavakoli welcomes Darius Lahoutifard, a seasoned entrepreneur, leadership expert, and the author of Leadership by Cyrus the Great: Unlocking Xenophon's Cyropaedia. Drawing on the remarkable leadership legacy of Cyrus the Great, one of history's most effective and visionary leaders, Darius reveals how Cyrus's principles of governance, strategy, and influence remain strikingly relevant in today's fast-changing business environment.In this insightful conversation, Darius shares how Cyrus built and sustained one of the most diverse and resilient empires in history—not through brute force, but through strategic leadership, trust-building, and cultural intelligence. Unlike many rulers of his time, Cyrus understood that power was not about control but about creating unity through shared purpose. His ability to win wars without fighting, empower his people while maintaining oversight, and earn loyalty rather than demand it makes him a leadership model worth studying today.Mahan and Darius also discuss how leaders today struggle with many of the same challenges Cyrus faced—gaining trust, balancing autonomy with accountability, and inspiring people to commit to a vision bigger than themselves. Through historical insights and modern applications, this episode explores how executives can apply Cyrus's timeless leadership strategies to navigate uncertainty, foster high-performing cultures, and lead with clarity and purpose.Whether you're a CEO, an entrepreneur, or a leader guiding a team through transformation, this conversation will challenge the way you think about leadership. Listen in to discover how an ancient leader's wisdom can help you make smarter strategic decisions, inspire your people, and build an organization that thrives beyond your tenure.Actionable Takeaways:

The oldest text in Leviticus, chapter 26, has a Seven Plagues story we did not know about. That chapter has the first rule of the Hebrew returnees in 538 BCE, with a warning: if you break it, Yahweh will bring Seven Plagues on the Hebrew returnees. Join our tribe on Patreon!

This is message 15 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 13:1-14:27 Babylon's history, as seen through Scripture and historical events, highlights its rise as a powerful empire rooted in pride and defiance against God. From its early days under Hammurabi to its height under Nebuchadnezzar II, Babylon symbolized human achievement and rebellion. Yet, Isaiah's prophecies and its eventual fall to Cyrus the Great in 539 BC reveal the certainty of God's judgment. Once the “glory of kingdoms,” Babylon's ruins now stand as a lasting reminder that no nation or power can defy God's authority and escape His justice.

By Mario Seiglie in Orange County, CA - August 10, 2024 - National governments of today fall far short of God's righteousness. There are times that God will allow certain men to be rulers for His purpose. Mainly, the reason is to be a lesson to show the proper way to govern people, or sometimes as a punishment to prompt them into correction. Also, God uses certain men in order to fulfill His prophecies.

Many legends were spun around the life of the Persian king Cyrus the Great, including how he met his end. The Greek historian Herodotus reports a tale that he deemed "most trustworthy," of the great king's last war in the distant steppes of central Asia--how he clashed with a fearsome tribe of mounted warriors called the Massagetae, led by a queen who defied the power of the new Persian Empire.

Born the son of a khan, a tribal chieftain, Cyrus would go on to be a titanic figure of world history. He took Persia from being a minor regional power to the first superpower the world has ever seen. Conquering all of modern day Iran, then Turkey, and finally defeating the power of the day, Babylon: Cyrus undoubtedly deserves the sobriquet of the Great.

“We know now, more than ever before, that we must change or perish. Worldviews are the foundation of culture, and the crisis has presented us with an opportunity to move to a new world-view linking Ancient & Modern, East & West, Science & Spirituality. Endowed with technology and a new worldview informed by ancient wisdom as well as the findings of contemporary science, we can create a new narrative and witness the dawn of a better era.” Dawn of an Era of Well-Being from the Introductory Note from the Authors (Ervin Laszlo and Frederick Tsao) page xviToday's conversation concerns matters of matter and spirit. By taking a close look at this very seemingly basic distinction, we can gain a lot of very practical information. What do we actually know about the material world? Many Eastern spiritual traditions, as well as many of the ancient thinkers, do not make a hard distinction between physical matter and spiritual substance. Some might say they are one and the same. Our guest today, the best-selling author and Jungian Analyst, Anne Baring, has much to say about the modern disconnect between the spiritual and the material. Today, she will make very clear her case that this disconnect alienates us from our sacred nature, and our divine purpose. The fruits of uninhibited materialism can be seen in current events and throughout the violent history of world events. Our leaders are often driven by nothing more than selfish ambition and a wanton quest for power, placing self-interest above all else. A clear perception of the divinity manifest in the material world and its inhabitants helps us understand the interconnectedness and sacred purpose of all other beings on this planet, and should be instructive on how we must build a better world through collaboration rather than competition. Join us today as Ervin and Anne delve deep into these questions of material and spiritual. Anne Baring is a Jungian Analyst and author of numerous publications including The Myth of the Goddess: Evolution of an Image co-authored with Jules Cashford; Soul Power: An Agenda for a Conscious Humanity with Scilla Elworthy; The Divine Feminine: Recovering the Feminine Face of God Around the World with Andrew Harvey; and The Dream of the Cosmos: A Quest for the Soul for which she was awarded the Scientific and Medical Network Book Prize for 2013, and which in 2020 was re-released in a new edition. The ground of all her work is a deep interest in the spiritual, mythological, shamanic, and artistic traditions of different cultures. Her website is devoted to the affirmation of a new vision of reality and the issues facing us at this crucial time of choice. www.annebaring.comDream of the Cosmos

The origins of Cyrus the Great (c. 600-530 BC), the first king of the Persian Empire, are shrouded in myth. The best known story, related by the Greek historian Herodotus, weaves a tale of intrigue in the lands of Media and Persia, ruled by the tyrannical king Astyages. When Astyages is visited by ominous dreams connected to the birth of his grandson Cyrus, a deadly plot is set in motion that leads ultimately to Cyrus' rise as the leader of the vastest empire yet seen.

In this episode, we talk about the Persian Empire and the return of the remnant. We include an overview of the books in the Old Testament in relation to chronological history. AND much is revealed!

In this first of a two-part series, we'll take a concise look at the history of one of the greatest empires in all of antiquity - the Achaemenid Persian Empire.  Founded by Cyrus II and expanded by his successors Cambyses II and Darius I, the Achaemenid dynasty would not just go on to rule most of the known world at the time, but also transmit the ideas and innovations of its many subject peoples to from the shores of the eastern Mediterranean to the Indus River valley and beyond.  We'll start with examining the Achaemenid's rise to power, the world that they lived in, their religion including Zoroastrianism, and the beginning of their encounters with the Greek-speaking peoples of the Aegean and what would eventually lead to the Greco-Persian wars.    Contents: 00:00 Historical Backdrop (Assyria, Elam and Media)09:35 Cyrus the Great (Early Years)14:00 Cyrus vs. Croesus and Lydia20:31 Cyrus and the Conquest of Babylon24:43 Cyrus as Liberator in Biblical and Babylonian texts27:33 Cyrus and Babylon29:20 Cyrus' Last Campaign against the Massagetae32:00 Cambyses II37:06 Cambyses II - Mad or Maligned King?42:18 Darius I (Darius the Great)43:44 The Behistun Inscription and the Crisis of 522 BC55:50 Persian Ethics, Religion, and Zoroastrianism01:02:56 Achaemenid Administration - Roads, Canals and Satrapies01:08:45 Expansion into Europe and start of the Greco-Persian Wars01:11:19 Battle of Marathon01:14:28 Thank you and PatronsSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/historywithcy)

With this video we start a series of programs and podcasts all dealing with ancient Persia and the beginnings of the Achaemenid Persian Empire of Cyrus II, better known to the world as Cyrus the Great. We'll first take a quick look at the history of the region around the time when the first Iranian tribes entered the region, followed by the Medes and how they laid the groundwork for the rise of one of history's greatest rulers, Cyrus the Great, founder of Persian Achaemenid Empire. We'll also examine a good deal of the primary sources (such as the works of Herodotus, Babylonian chronicles, the Cyrus Cylinder, etc.) that help us to put together a better picture of who Cyrus was.

From Alexander the Great to countless Roman emperors and Ottoman sultans—it was the mighty shoes of Cyrus that they all attempted to fill, More than merely a successful conqueror, Cyrus the Great is known just as much for being a great liberator as he is known for his conquests. In contrast to many other powerful rulers, Cyrus did not seek to oppress his subjects or interfere with their way of life, religions, or local customs.

Cyrus the Great is considered the "Anointed One", the originator of human rights, and ruthless conqueror.

Now that we have seen the development of Sparta and Athens, two of our main players for the upcoming Greco-Persian Wars period, we need to look at a third. This time it is not a Greek city state, but an empire east across the Aegean Sea. This was the Persian Empire and would come to influence Greek affairs for centuries to come.The main empire the Greeks had contact with in the Near East during the Achcahic period was that of the Lydian Empire who controlled most of Anatolia. In the late 6th century, the Lydian’s had brought the Ionian Greek cities dotted all along the Anatolian coast into their control. Though, as powerful and wealthy as the Lydians were a great threat appeared on their eastern boarder.This threat was in the shape of the new power of Persia, who only a handful of years earlier was one of a number of Iranian groups occupying the Zagros Mountains. Events around them would see this relatively small group of peoples coming to dominate their region, before then expanding and creating the Persian Empire, which Lydia would become apart of. The founder of the Persian empire would become to be known as Cyrus the Great and like most founders there were traditional tales to explain his background and rise to greatness. In just his life time Cyrus would go onto create the largest empire the world had yet known, bringing the Greek world into direct contact with them.

She stood against the might of Cyrus the Great and Persian Empire and toppled it, beheading the great king. Her name was Tomyris, a queen of a Scythian tribe called the Massegetae. Few know her name today, but her actions echoed through the ancient world. Join Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden as they enter the world of a true warrior queen!

Kingdom after kingdom fell before him as he formed the Achaemenid Empire, the largest empire that the world had ever seen up until that point. It kept growing under successors like Cambyses and Darius until it, too, fell under the might of Alexander the Great during the late 4th century BC.
