Cyaxares or Hvakhshathra (Old Persian: [4]Uvaxštra,[5]Greek: Κυαξάρης; r. 625–585 BC), was the third and most powerfull king of Median empire. He was the first king to expand Iranian dominance in the region.
His father’s death allowed Madea, king of the Scythians to invade and conquer the then small Median kingdom. Cyaxares invited Madea to a feast, where he made them drunk and killed them thus ending 28 years of Scythian control. After that he assured the Scythians would no longer be a threat to Media. He then created a massive army by uniting all the Median tribes. He then used Scythian prisoners of war, as soldiers in this large army. He then made an alliance with the Babylonians and they both attacked Assyrian lands. In 614 BC he crossed the Zagros Mountains, and captured Assyrian lands. He then met with king Nabopolassar of Babylon and made an alliance between Media and Babylonia. In 612 BC they attacked Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, captured it and officially brought an end to the Assyrian Empire. He then put his focus into Greece and Lydia. He fought king Alyattes of Lydia and made an agreement that the Halys river should be the border between the two. The war between the Lydians and Medians ended in 585 BC because of a sudden eclipse. Cyaxares died in the same year or the year after and was succeeded by his son Astyages who was in power for 35 years until he was overthrown by Cyrus the Great in 550 BC.
