    True. Why is we westerners know so little about Cyrus. I know the answer. However militarily is Cyrus really better?

    He won more battles and actually forged a LASTING empire rather then an immediate one.

    Your not really thinking of succession at 30. Cyrus was a great man. His idea on how to run an empire hasn't been beat yet.

    True, if we consider that then Alexander was greater in battles. But he had no management or diplomatic skills what so ever.

    It would have been interesting to see his empire actual last. Who knows what he would have done? It would also be interesting to see the two in battle....
