'''[[Cyrus the Great]]''' omitted from, but contemporary with Vishtaspa of the Shahnameh was the greatest of the Achaemenids. He was the E1b1b1c son of Cambyses I, son of Cyrus I, son of Teispes (Kai Kaos "the Nimrodian"), son of Achaemenes, son of Perseids, sons of Perses, son of Perseus, son of "She-wolf" Danaë and Proteus, son of Abas, son of Lynceus, son of Aegyptus, son of Belus, son of E1b1b1c Poseidon, son of Cronus (Horus), son of Nimrod Uranus (Mitzraim) and Gaia, daughter of Cush (Chaos), son of Ham, son of Noah. The E1b1b1c Achaemenids, Perseids, and Danaans were the "Celestial Wolf" tribe (allied to Vulcan's Achaeans as Hephthalites) which adopted the Trojan refugees who became the Picts, the Romans, and the Sogdian-speaking Ashinas of the Gokturks. From the Achaemenid "Hephthalites" descended the Dulo clan whence came Sandilch, father of Houdbaad, father of Kubrat, father of Batbayan, ruler of the Khavars, whence came Khagan Abraham, father of Tudun Isaac, Duke Morout, grandfather of Menumorout King of the E1b1b1c Kalizes of Halych.
Cyrus figures in the [[Hebrew Bible]] (Old Testament) as the patron and deliverer of the [[Jew]]s. He is mentioned 23 times by name and alluded to several times more.
