Cyrus is said to have had for his father Cambvses, king of the Persians.
Cyrus is described, and is still celebrated by the Barbarians, as having been most handsome in person, most humane in diisposition, most eager for knowledge, and most ambitious of honour; so that he would undergo any labour, anid face any danger for the sake of obtaining praise.
They who pass their term among the young men, discharging all things enjoined by the law, are allowed to be incorporated amongst the full-grown men, and to partake of all honours and magistracies; but they who do not complete their course in the class uf youth, do not pass into that of the full-grown men.
The task of eliminating the child Cyrus was given to the Mede Harpagus, but he did not carry it out and initiated a grave complication in the following events by handing over the little boy to the cowherd Mithradates with the instruction to abandon him in the wilderness (1.109 f.).
The young lad proved himself as a sovereign, not only by organizing a royal household with various tasks, but also by treating disobedience with severe punishments, one of the victims of which was the son of the Mede Artembares (1.114).
Cyrus was to recognize his sinful behavior, but the Persians were no longer in a position to extinguish the pyre (1.86.4-6).
