About this listen
This novella, "Maya and Cyrus the Great," is an excerpt from Hank M. Greene’s book, Maya, portraying a dramatic political saga set in 561 BCE. The narrative centers on King Astyages' machinations to secure his empire through the marriage of his daughter, Mandane, to King Cambyses, envisioning their future son as ruler of Asia. However, a prophetic dream about his grandson's future power leads Astyages to order the infant's assassination. Maya, a mysterious figure, intervenes with Harpagus to steal the newborn, Cyrus, and raise him in secret. The story highlights Maya’s profound influence on Cyrus’s formative years and her eventual, bittersweet departure, underscoring her role in shaping his destiny as a future emperor.
