Belshazzar, and transfers the kingdom to Cyaxares his uncle, called in scripture Darius the Mede. 538 Thus the Medo-Persian empire is established, being the breast and arms of silver in Nebuchadnezzar's image, and the bear in Daniel's vision. (Scott.) 537 After the death of Cyaxares and Cambyses, Cyrus, who succeeded both in their dominions, united the empire of the Medes with those of the Babylonians and Persians, and of the three formed a fourth under the name of the Empire of the Persians,...
