The edited volume Cyrus the Great: Life and Lore re-contextualizes
Cyrus's foundational act and epoch in light of recent scholarship,
while examining his later reception in antiquity and beyond. Among
the many themes addressed in the volume are: the complex dossier of
Elamo-Persian acculturation; the Mesopotamian antecedents of
Cyrus's edict and religious policy; Cyrus's Baupolitik at
Pasargadae, and the idiosyncratic genesis of Persian imperial art;
the Babylonian exile, the Bible, and the First Return; Cyrus's
exalted but conflicted image in the later Greco-Roman world; his
reception and programmatic function in genealogical constructs of
the Hellenistic and Arsacid periods; and finally Cyrus's
conspicuous and enigmatic evanescence in the Sasanian and Muslim
traditions. The sum of these wide-ranging contributions assembled
in one volume, as well as a new critical edition and English
translation of the Cyrus Cylinder, allow for a more adequate
evaluation of Cyrus's impact on his own age, as well as his imprint
on posterity.
