King Cyrus began the Persian (Achaemenid) Empire. He began as a tribal leader and proceeded to overthrow the overlord who ruled the area. He is the leader who conquered the most of the Persian empire's land. His empire extended from Anatolia to the Indus River. Cyrus is known as a great conqueror.
Darius is considered to be the greatest Persian emperor. He broadened it a bit, but was more important as an administrator than a conqueror. He centralized his government at Persepolis, and standardized tax levies, coin, and code of law throughout the empire. Darius is known as an administrator.
It is important to note that both rulers were extremely tolerant of different ethnic groups and cultures, which is highly unusual in world history.
