Croesus and Cyrus in Antiquity A Dream of Fate
A long excerpt recounts Solon on happiness and fate with Croesus, the Medes and Persians, and the birth of Cyrus. Astyages fears a prophecy, orders a child killed, but the king saves him. The child grows among peasants, playing king, awaiting his moment to claim the throne. The tale ends as it hints at Cyrus’s rise and a page break to continue.
