A brilliant mind, but he had no morals, save a love for Princely men.

When you look in Daniel, Nehemiah, Ezra, and particularly Esther you see the same image of the Persians. Strict but fair. Often generous.

Note: this topic is from 6/29/2003. Thanks freedom44. Should have thought of this for Purim, alas, I didn't. This will be the week's Digest ping as well, merely a day early.

Very interesting!
My first husband was on a ship with a guy whose last name was Cyrus. At the time I had no clue who that was. Years later, I got curious, and read up on it.
This article is far more detailed than what I read. Thanks!
