Chapter 10 Targon's Journey in Greece and Persia

When Targon using the name Zaminazar had heard of Cyrus the new king of the newly formed Achaemenid Empire he was impressed especially with how Cyrus would wage war and how he would govern the people of his new formed empire. Zaminazar would decided to help Cyrus war against Croesus and Nabonidus, Zaminazar would explain why he is helping Cyrus because Mesopotamia was his ancestral home and his family took an oath to save as many lives a they could and to take away the power from corrupt rules who only care about about their own personal selfish desires. After Cyrus conquered Babylon Zaminazar surprised yet again with his kind and humble rule, the restoration of temples plus religious practices and returning all displaced Jewish people back to their homeland. Zaminazar would ask Cyrus why he was being a kind ruler to which Cyrus would say growing up the two people who raised he believed in the Zoroastrianism faith which surprised him because Zaminazar would never thought he would meet a ruler like Cyrus who believed in the Zoroastrianism faith. Zaminazar would explain that one of his ancestors was one of Zoroastrianism first students and made a lasting impression to his family. In reality when Zaminazar/Targon talk about how one of his ancestor was one Zoroastrianism students he was talking about himself. Throughout Cyrus reign Zaminazar would serve him as his aid and the two would become good friends Zaminazar/Targon would learn a lot from Cyrus. When Cyrus died it was a sad day for many including Zaminazar/Targon, after Cyrus funeral Zaminazar/Targon would leave Persia would spend most of his time with the Scythians tribes learning about their culture and recording it and their language using the language he could speak because the Scythians didn't have a written language.
