Φίλιππος Isocrates
66 Then again, CyrusCyrus the Great, founder of the Persian Empire, Isoc. 9.37.(that we may take account of the barbarians also), not withstanding the fact that as a child he was exposed by his mother on the public highwaySee Isoc. 5.132 and Hdt. 1.108. and was picked up by a Persian woman,Hdt. 1.112 ff. so completely reversed his fortunes that he became master of all Asia.
67 Now if Alcibiades in exile, and Conon after a disastrous defeat, and Dionysius, a man of no repute, and Cyrus, with his pitiable start in life, advanced so far and achieved such mighty deeds, how can we fail to expect that you, who are sprung from such ancestors, who are king of Macedonia and master of so many peoples, will effect with ease this union which we have discussed?
