I just read a great article on why Truman characterized himself as Cyrus when he was talking to Israel at the time they were about to become a sovereign country again. It made me wonder whether we have seen our last American President Cyrus as the most recent administration has certainly moved away from that position. It also made me wonder how many people might understand the reference. I think that is most probably a diminished set of our population and even more diminished in Europe.
