Panthea, Cyrus, and Araspas, 1630s painting by Laurent de La Hyre

Araspus (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.), a Mede, and a friend of Cyrus the Great from his youth, contends with Cyrus that love has no power over him, but shortly afterward refutes himself by falling in love with Pantheia, whom Cyrus had committed to his charge. He is afterward sent to Croesus as a deserter, to inspect the condition of the enemy, and subsequently commands the right wing of Cyrus's army in the battle with Croesus.[1]
