Answer: The correct answer is King Cyrus was tolerant with their subordinates.

Explanation: Cyrus II of Persia (600–530 BC), commonly known as Cyrus the Great, and also called Cyrus the Elder by the Greeks, was the founder of the Achaemenid Empire, the first Persian Empire. Under his rule, the empire embraced all the previous civilized states of the ancient Near East, expanded vastly and eventually conquered most of Western Asia and much of Central Asia. From the Mediterranean Sea and Hellespont in the west to the Indus River in the east, Cyrus the Great created the largest empire the world had yet seen.

I believe the answer is: He had a reputation for religious tolerance.


According to King Cyrus, religious tolerance increase political stability within a nation because it eliminate potential conflict that civilians have with another.

Other example of his tolerance action is when he gave religious freedom for the people of Babylonia after he conquered their territory.
