Der Historiker Xenophon von Athen (427-ca. 355 v. Chr.) hat in seinen Schriften {\"u}ber zwei Tr{\"a}ger dieses Namens berichtet und sie durchaus unterschiedlich bewertet: Kyros II. («der Große»), Mehrer des Reiches, sowie ein Jahrhundert sp{\"a}ter Kyros, Sohn des Dareios und j{\"u}ngerer Bruder des Perserk{\"o}nigs Artaxerxes II. Der {\"a}ltere Kyros ist namengebender Protagonist eines F{\"u}rstenspiegels (der Kyrop{\"a}die), wird also grunds{\"a}tzlich positiv und als ein Vorbild f{\"u}r andere dargestellt. Am erfolglosen Kampf des j{\"u}ngeren Kyros um die Krone des Perserreichs hatte Xenophon als Offizier griechischer S{\"o}ldner selbst teilgenommen. Aus dem Vergleich von Darstellung und Bewertung der beiden F{\"u}rsten lassen sich die Anspr{\"u}che Xenophons an einen idealen Herrscher ableiten, was hier unternommen werden soll.
