Kinsley Simon · Answer 1

Cyrus the Great, who was also named Cyrus II, was born between 590-589 BC in Media. He was the first Persian leader and became the first king of the Persian Empire.

His biggest accomplishment was the conquest of Babylonia. Cyrus was able to easily conquest Babilonia, among other things, because the citizens from this city were completely opposed to their governor.

He was the ruler of the largest and most extended empire of his time.
