Tomyris — Queen of the Massagetae Who Defeated Cyrus II [Sara Gorsky]

This week, Sara brings us the ancient warrior queen Tomyris! In 500 BCE Cyrus II conquers much of Asia to form the first Persian Empire, but his ego and greed are insatiable, and eventually he crosses swords with the wrong Queen; Tomyris and her fierce, nomadic horse warriors face off their attacker in a blaze of glory and sorrow to take revenge on the biggest bully in the world.
