Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cyrus the Great showed unusual amounts of clemency to the peoples and cities he conquered. One of the most famous examples of this was the mercy he showed towards the ancient Israelites, whom he allowed to return from exile in Mesopotamia to their ancestral homeland.
