Talk:Teispes

What a mess!
The guys who are working on his father (Achaemenes) think his father was imaginary! If he was imaginary how did he make him? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achaemenes Kiumars 11:49, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Capture of Elam
It seems he captured Elam in 646 BC, as said in the book, From Cyrus to Alexander, p. 17, then second submission after 834 BC? is the submission of Cyrus I to the Assyrians, he sends his son Arukku as a hostage, just a minor note.--Amerana (talk) 03:09, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Persian?
Might be a good idea to actually mention somewhere in the article that Teispes has something to do with Persia? Anyone no familiar with Persian history will ask himself: who the hell are all these people? Where are these places? Who was Cyrus the great? Etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.254.215.2 (talk) 03:26, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Persian name
Since he is a persian, we should write the persian version of his name first. Then we can write the greek one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arsaces (talk • contribs) 11:56, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
