To what extent the information communicated to him wasincorrect or exaggerated, we cannot now decide. The way in which thecity was treated would lead us to suppose that its acquisition cannothave cost the conqueror either much time or much loss. Cyrus comes intothe list as king of Babylon, and the inhabitants with their wholeterritory become tributary to the Persians, forming the richest satrapyin the empire; but we do not hear that the people were otherwiseill-used, and it is certain that the ...vast walls and gates were leftuntouched. This was very different from the way in which the Medes hadtreated Nineveh, which seems to have been ruined and for a long timeabsolutely uninhabited, though reoccupied on a reduced scale under theParthian empire; and very different also from the way in which Babylonitself was treated twenty years afterward by Darius, when reconqueredafter a revolt.
The importance of Babylon, marking as it does one of the peculiar formsof civilization belonging to the ancient world in a state of fulldevelopment, gives an interest even to the half-authenticated storiesrespecting its capture.
