 AncientWeb.org: Ancient Persia - The Art, Culture and History of the Ancient Middle East
Persia's earliest known kingdom was the proto-Elamite Empire, followed by the Medes; but it is the Achaemenid Empire that emerged under Cyrus the Great that is usually the earliest to be called "Persian." Successive states in Iran before 1935 are collectively called the Persian Empire by Western historians.
As Persia assumed control over the rest of Media and their large Middle Eastern empire, Cyrus led the united Medes and Persians to still more conquest.
Persia already numbered among its conquests the Greek cities of Ionia in Asia Minor, where Greek civilization first flourished.
