ReligionCyrus the Great wasnt only different because of the way he ruled, he also was different by the way he treated the other peoples religion and beliefs. When he would conquer a city or place, he would kneel and pray in the temple or place of worship instead of destroying it. Cyrus also let the Jews return to Jerusalem in 538 B.C.E after they were in exile. This in turn led the Jews to think that Cyrus was one of God's annointed ones.
