Achaemenid period (553 bce - 330 bce) In the middle of the sixth century BCE, the Achaemanid clan of the Persians was headed by Cyrus, who ruled, under Median domination, as sub-king of Parsa, or Persis. In 553 BCE Cyrus led a revolt that resulted in the overthrow of the Median ruler and the rise to the power of the Achaemenids. A more ambitious to subjugate the Greeks was attempted by Xerxes, but after a navel disaster at Salamis in 480 BCE and a decimation of the land forces at Plataea the next year, the invading forces were withdrawn to the shores of Asia Minor. www.silk-road.com /artl/achaemen.shtml   (1216 words)

The final news of Antipater's victory must have reached Alexander in summer 330 BC when he dismissed his allied troops – or even much later in spring 329 BC when he crossed the Indian Caucasus into Bactria. www.wargamer.com /articles/gb-articles/megalopolis.asp   (635 words)
