And that's because Cyrus claims descendant from Achaemenes. He is part of that family. Achaemenes is this semi-legendary patriarch of it that lived 100, 150 years before Cyrus the Great. And so I will draw a dotted line from Achaemenes to Cyrus. And Cyrus then goes on, so he conquers the Median Empire. Then he goes on to conquer several of the major empires of that time. In the mid 540s BCE, so we are right around there, he conquers the Lydian Empire, right over there, which is on the western half of the Anatolian Peninsula in modern-day Turkey.
