Are the old testament King Cyrus and the Egyptian God Osiris the same character?
No!
The best known dates for the birth of Cyrus is either 600-599 BC or 575-576 BC. Little is known of his early years, as the sources detailing that part of his life are few, and have been damaged or lost.
Herodotus’s story of Cyrus’ early life belongs to a genre of legends in which abandoned children of noble birth, such as Oedipus and Romulus and Remus, return to claim their royal positions. His overlord was his own grandfather, Astyages, ruler of the powerful Median kingdom.
After the birth of Cyrus, Astyages had a dream that his Magi interpreted as a sign that his grandson would eventually overthrow him. He then ordered his steward Harpagus to kill the infant. Harpagus, morally unable to kill a newborn, summoned Mitradates, a royal herdsman from the mountainous region bordering the Saspires, and ordered him to leave the baby to die in the mountains. Luckily the herdsman and his wife Cyno took pity and raised the child as their own, passing off their recently stillborn infant as the murdered Cyrus.
When Cyrus was ten years old, Herodotus claims that it was obvious that Cyrus was not a herdsman’s son, stating that his behavior was too noble. Astyages interviewed the boy and noticed that they resembled each other. Astyages ordered Harpagus to explain what he had done with the baby, and after confessing that he had not killed the boy, the king tricked him into eating his own broiled and chopped up son. Astyages was more lenient with Cyrus, and allowed him to return to his biological parents, Cambyses and Mandane. While Herodotus’ description may be a legend, it does give insight into the figures surrounding Cyrus the Great’s early life.
