Chapter 1 focuses on the Europeans’ discovery of ancient Persia as an origin of western Persophilia and provides evidence supporting the great im- pact that Cyrus (d. 531 BC), through Xenophon’s (d. 354 BC) Cyropedia, has had on many scholars, specifically on the authors of America’s constitution; an influence that he believed was provided via the formation of transnational spheres through which the discourse on Cyrus circulated throughout the world.	cache/ajiss-925.pdf	txt/ajiss-925.txt
