This indifference and mutual disdain between Cyrus's parents explains why he was brought up by a dog and lived in a kennel (a bit like Brian and Stewie in Family Guy). This may have been some ancient Persian tradition to add a bit of the 'dog' into Cyrus's character but it would come in handy later on. Cyrus could move as quickly on four limbs than just depending his legs to get him around.

  • This indifference and mutual disdain between Cyrus's parents explains why he was brought up by a dog and lived in a kennel (a bit like Brian and Stewie in Family Guy). This may have been some ancient Persian tradition to add a bit of the 'dog' into Cyrus's character but it would come in handy later on. Cyrus could move as quickly on four limbs than just depending his legs to get him around. This was a period in history when the big imperial dicks at the time were Egypt who had demolished the Assyrian Empire and broke up the Kingdom of Judah. There was also Lydia, home of the tattooed women with their King Croesus and the Cocoanuts. The Lydians were also first nation to create its own coinage so they could pay their bills on time. Then there were the Medes with their monarch, King Astyages, son of King Synapses and Queen Grammar who insisted Cyrus write out his tribute in gold, silver and used bottle tops. Finally there were the Babylonians led by King Nebuchadnezzar. All three powers were interrelated by marriage pacts and cross border loans. The Persians were at this stage of civilisation in advance of the Europeans and Americans but a bit behind everyone else in the Middle East and China. The Medes saw them as their 'sheep-shagging'uncouth cousins in the Zagros Mountains. The Medes called their country 'Media' and grew aloof, socially progressive and very Liberal. Cyrus who was still a minor gangster managed to persuade the Persians that with some luck, they could beat the Medes and take over the country. King Astyages laughed in Cyrus's face when issued with a challenge but then saw his troops run away from the fierce Persians and submitted to Cyrus.
