The edited volume Cyrus the Great: Life and Lore recontextualizes Cyruss 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 ElamoPersian acculturation; the Mesopotamian antecedents of Cyruss edict and religious policy; Cyruss Baupolitik at Pasargadae, and the idiosyncratic genesis of Persian imperial art; the Babylonian exile, the Bible, and the First Return; Cyruss exalted but conflicted image in the later GrecoRoman world; his reception and programmatic function in genealogical constructs of the Hellenistic and Arsacid periods; and finally Cyruss conspicuous and enigmatic evanescence in the Sasanian and Muslim traditions.The sum of these wideranging 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 Cyruss impact on his own age, as well as his imprint on posterity.
