Titre: Cambyses II Slays the Apis Bull,525 BC
Légende: Voir la traduction automatique
Cambyses II was the second King of Kings of the Achaemenid Empire from 530 to 522 BC. He was the son and successor of Cyrus the Great. His reign was marked by his conquests in Africa, notably Egypt, which he conquered after his victory over the Egyptian pharaoh Psamtik III at the battle of Pelusium in 525 BC. He expanded his holdings in Africa even further, such as his conquest of Cyrenaica. The Greek historian Herodotus portrays Cambyses II as a mad king who committed many acts of sacrilege during his stay in Egypt, including the slaying of the sacred Apis calf. Most of the sacrileges attributed to Cambyses are not supported by contemporary sources. Cyclopedia of Universal History by John Clark Ridpath, 1890 (cropped and cleaned).
