 History of Iran: Achaemenid Empire
y 546 BCE, Cyrus had defeated Croesus, the Lydian king of fabled wealth, and had secured control of the Aegean coast of Asia Minor, Armenia, and the Greek colonies along the Levant.

By the time his successor, Artaxerxes I, died in 424 BCE, the imperial court was beset by factionalism among the lateral family branches, a condition that persisted until the death in 330 of the last of the Achaemenids, Darius III, at the hands of his own subjects.

 [ Ant ] Elements ◁ Lore ◁ Geek Stuff
Thales (636-546 BCE, left) proposed that the primary substance, or element, of the Universe was water; Anaximenes (?570-502 BCE), air; and Herakleitos (or Heracletus, ?540-?480 BCE), fire.
Empedokles of Acragas (or Empedocles, 492-432 BCE) suggested that there could be more than one element, and to the list of water, air, and fire added a fourth, earth.
A different concept was the atomist theory of Leucippus of Miletus (?480-?420 BCE) and his disciple Democritus of Abdera (?460-?370 BCE, right) in which all matter is composed of indivisible particles, or atoms, of the same stuff but with differing shapes.
