		According to Herodotus, Mandane was born to Astyages, King of Media and son of Cyaxares the Great, and Princess Aryenis of Lydia, daughter of Alyattes II, the father of Croesus of Lydia.
		Some modern scholars think that Herodotus' stories about the dynastic links between Cyrus the Great and the kingdoms he later conquered (Media, Lydia and Babylonia) are propaganda to legitimize his invasion and they lack historical reality.
		This doubt is furthered by that fact that, for Mandane to have been the daughter of Aryenis of Lydia, she would have had to been born after the Battle of the Eclipse in 585 BCE, when Aryenis was given to Astyages as part of a treaty between Media and Lydia.

		Astyages had been in alliance with his brother-in-law Croesus of Lydia (son of Alyattes), Nabonidus of Babylon, and Amasis II of Egypt.
		When Cyrus became (in about 558 bc) ruler of the Persian district of Anshan, the district was subject to the Medes; five years later he led a rebellion against the Medes that resulted in the capture of King Astyages (reigned about 584 to about 550 bc) and the overthrow (550 bc) of the Median Empire.
		Babylon, Egypt, Lydia, and the city-state of Sparta in Greece combined to curb the power of Cyrus, but in about 546 bc the Persians added Lydia to their realm, and in 539 bc the kingdom of Babylon fell to Cyrus.

		The next part of the story begins with the overthrow of Astyages and the establishment of the Achaemenid Empire by Cyrus the Great.
		The brief period of occupation at Kerkenes fits with the historical record: founded soon after 585 BC and destroyed by Croesus some forty years later.
		It is striking that Croesus treated the inhabitants of Pteria differently from the "Syrians" in the surrounding villages who, in contrast to the Pterians, had done no wrong.

	Planet Preterist - The Mysterious Number in Daniel 5:31
		According to Herodotus, Aryenis was the daughter of Alyattes II of Lydia, the wife of Astyages, and the mother of Mandane.
		If she was the daughter of Alyattes II, this means that she was also the sister of Croesus, who reigned as king of Lydia from 560 until his defeat by Cyrus in 547.
		This date cannot be reconciled with the claim that Mandane was the daughter of Aryenis and the mother of Cyrus unless you assume that she gave birth at a remarkably young age and that Cyrus was quite young when he became the ruler of the empire of the Medes and Persians.

	Cyrus the Great Summary
		The Medes and the Persians were so similar that foreigners tended to see only a change of dynasty (the Greeks still called the whole group Medes), but any such upset implied to the other powers a tempting weakness, and Cyrus soon found himself embroiled in new wars.
		The first was with Croesus, King of Lydia, a wealthy state in western Asia Minor whose subjects included the Greek cities along its coast.
		From his base in Anshan he conquered neighboring Media in alliance with the Babylonian king Nabonidus in 550, overtook Lydia in Asia Minor in 547, defeated resisting areas in the Greek mainland, then returned to Persia and drove his armies eastward as far as India.
