In а legitimizing dоcument written аbоut 530 B.C.E. аnd called [BLANK-1], Persian Emperоr Cyrus the Great sought to present himself as a liberator of people rather than a conqueror. He depicted himself as a champion of right order, a restorer of traditions, and a purveyor of prosperity to the places he conquered. Particularly, he described his conquest of Babylon, his acceptance of the god Marduk, his disposition to sanction the worship of other Mesopotamian gods, and his willingness to allow exiles to return to their places of origin. By emphasizing his readiness to accommodate newly conquered territories, he further legitimized his rule with the people.
