Cambyses I (flourished 6th century bc), Persian king of the Achaemenid
dynasty who ruled (circa 600-559 bc) over Anshan (now Baghdad Province,
Iraq) as a vassal of the Medes, then preeminent in Persia. Cambyses I was
the son of Cyrus I (flourished 7th century bc), whom he succeeded, and the
father of Cyrus the Great, who founded the Persian Empire. According to
the Greek historian Herodotus, Cambyses I married the daughter of
Astyages, king of the Medes (reigned about 584-550 bc).
