Tempat
Persia
Sebuah kekaisaran kuno yang membentang dari Sungai Indus hingga Trakia, dan dari Laut Kaspia hingga Laut Merah dan Teluk Persia. Orang Persia pada mulanya adalah suku Media yang menetap di Persia, di sisi timur Teluk Persia. Mereka adalah bangsa Arya, dan bahasa mereka termasuk dalam rumpun Indo-Eropa bagian timur. Salah satu pemimpin mereka, Teispes, menaklukkan Elam pada masa kemunduran Kekaisaran Asyur, dan menetap di distrik Anzan. Keturunannya terbagi menjadi dua garis keturunan, satu garis memerintah di Anzan, sementara yang lain tetap di Persia.
Koresh II, raja Anzan, akhirnya menyatukan kekuasaan yang terpecah itu, menaklukkan Media, Lidia, dan Babilonia, serta memperluas pasukannya hingga ke Timur Jauh. Putranya, Kambises, menambahkan Mesir ke dalam kekaisaran, yang bagaimanapun terpecah-belah setelah kematiannya. Kekaisaran ini ditaklukkan kembali dan ditata secara menyeluruh oleh Darius, putra Histaspes, yang daerah kekuasaannya membentang dari India hingga Sungai Donau.
