Cyrus the Great is also well recognized for his achievements in human rights, politics, and military strategy, as well as his influence on both Eastern and Western civilizations.

Dear Madam/ Sir

The above is what you wrote about Cyrus the Great. Therefore please add this great king's name in Major Thinkers of Strategy. You may refer to your: Cyropaedia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Xenophon's Cyropaedia.[1]

The Cyropaedia, sometimes spelled Cyropedia, is a largely fictional biography[2] of Cyrus the Great the founder of Achaemenid Empire, the first Persian Empire. It was written around 370 BC by the Athenian gentleman-soldier, and student of Socrates, Xenophon. The Latinized title Cyropaedia derives from Greek Kúrou paideía (Κύρου παιδεία), meaning "The Education of Cyrus". Aspects of it would become a model for medieval writers of the genre known as mirrors for princes. In turn it was a strong influence upon the most well-known but atypical of these, Machiavelli's The Prince, which was an important influence in the rejection of medieval political thinking, and the development of modern politics. However, unlike most "mirrors of princes", and like The Prince, whether or not the Cyropaedia was really intended to describe an ideal ruler is a subject of debate.
