dc.description.abstract | At some point in the 540s bc Cyrus the Great conquered Sardis and ordered the
Greek cities of Asia Minor to be brought into subjection. The main sources for Cyrus’
conquest of western Anatolia have normally been the Greek narrative traditions and the
Babylonian chronicles. In recent years, both have shown to be problematic. By pushing back
on these sources, and by bringing in fresh forms of evidence, it will be argued that it is
possible to draw a significantly more nuanced picture of Cyrus’ imperial vision that balanced
military conquest with the needs for stability, security and economic prosperity. | en_GB |
