WHERE CROESUS REIGNED
The article discusses the ancient city of Sardis in Lydia, once ruled by King Croesus, and its archaeological significance. It notes that a scholarly American expedition is excavating the site, which sits atop layers of history stretching back to the time of King Cyrus of Persia. The text references Herodotus’s accounts, including the story of Croesus’s wealth and how he was possibly spared from being burned alive by Cyrus, as well as the historical pattern of empires rising and falling in the region (particularly the Middle East). The tone is reflective, noting the cyclical nature of history and the irony that while archaeologists are content to “dig,” soldiers prefer to “fight.”
