Teispes - Wikipedia Teispes From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Great King, King of Anshan[1] Teispes Great King, King of Anshan[1] Position of Teispes in the Achaemenid lineage according to Darius the Great in the Behistun inscription. King of Persia Reign 675–640 BC Predecessor Achaemenes Successor Cyrus I Born ? Died 640 BC Issue Ariaramnes Cyrus I House Achaemenid Father Achaemenes Teïspes (from Greek Τεΐσπης; in Old Persian: 𐎨𐎡𐏁𐎱𐎡𐏁[2] Cišpiš; Akkadian: 𒅆𒅖𒉿𒅖 Šîšpîš)[3] ruled Anshan in 675–640 BC. He was the son of Achaemenes of Persis and an ancestor of Cyrus the Great.[4] There is evidence that Cyrus I and Ariaramnes were both his sons.[4] Cyrus I is the grandfather of Cyrus the Great, whereas Ariaramnes is the great-grandfather of Darius the Great. According to 7th-century BC documents, Teispes captured the Elamite city of Anshan, speculated to have occurred after the Persians were freed from Median supremacy, and expanded his small kingdom. His kingdom was, however, a vassal state of the Neo-Assyrian Empire (911–605 BC). He was succeeded by his second son, Cyrus I.[4] The etymology of the name[edit] Schmitt suggests that the name is probably Iranian, but its etymology is unknown. Its connection with either the name of the Mitannian and Urartu storm god Tešup-Theispas, or with the (Elamite) byname 𒍝𒆜𒉿𒆜𒅆𒅀 Zaišpîšiya is likely.[4] References[edit] ^ Cyrus Cylinder ^ Akbarzadeh (2006), page 56 ^ Kent (1384 AP), page 394 ^ a b c d Schmitt, 1992 Bibliography[edit] Akbarzadeh, D.; Yahyanezhad, A.
