Excerpt from The Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art, Vol. 10: July to December, 1869 There were five kings of Persia before Cyrus, so that monarchical government must have commenced among the Per sians almost simultaneously with its es. Tablishment among their neighbors the Medes. Achaemenes was the first who concentrated the Persian tribes under one head, thus supplanting the weak tribal system of government by the monarchical, and nearly all the subse quent kings of Persia rejoiced in claim ing descent from him. The Persians under their early kings, although in their domestic administration they seem to have maintained entire independence, rendered allegiance to the Medes, who were then the stronger of the sister peo ples. But there appears to have been little enmity and no antipathy between the two nations, and when Cyrus de feated the Median king, and became the ruler of both countries, the Medes and Persians willingly coalesced, and there after they shared almost equally in the honors and emoluments of the State.
