Cyrus the great 

Against portrayal of Persians in 300 (film) , I composed a Music in a mode of baran scale (Bold degrees : 0  80  166.7  260  360  466.7  580  700  780  870  970  1080  1200 ) and in honour of Cyrus the great  , the greatest and famous Persian Emperor of the Achamenid Dynasty (580-529BC) and a righteous human being.He was extraordinarily peerless in all over the world. Comparing Cyrus' manner with Semi's rulers, one feels great pleasure for the Persian liberality and generosity and truly regards the Persians as one of the instructors of human rights.
