Her exploits were mentioned in the works of several great ancient writers such as Herodotus, Strabo, Polyaenus, Cassiodorus and Jordanes. The most notable story about Tomyris involves the Persian ruler [[wikipedia:Cyrus the Great|Cyrus the Great]] and his efforts to invade and subjugate Tomyris' people. Cyrus and his troops planted an unattended camp with a healthy supply of wine in Scythian territory. The Scythian army, led by Tomyris' son, stumbled upon the wine and, unfamiliar with the intoxicating effects of alcohol, drank themselves into a stupor. After, the Persians attacked the incapacitated army and kidnapped Tomyris' son. Tomyris, enraged, challenged Cyrus and another battle ensued; however, this time Cyrus and his forces were defeated, suffering a great many casualties including Cyrus himself. After the death of Cyrus, Tomyris had his corpse beheaded and crucified, and shoved his head into a wineskin filled with human blood. During this act, Tomyris is quoted as saying, "I warned you that I would quench your thirst for blood, and so I shall." However, some scholars question this version, mostly because Herodotus admits this event was one of many versions of Cyrus's death that he heard from a supposedly . ==Intro== All people will tremble with fear and respect you, great warrior Queen Tomyris. For it is from the back of your stallion that you shall look upon and lead the Scythian people. Great epics will be told of the horse warriors that ride forth from the steppe, and at the front line of every battle - they will find you. Ride on, fierce queen, and may your friends be true just as your enemies falter. ==Leader bonus== '''[[Killer of Cyrus]]''' - All [[unit]]s receive +5 {{Combat Strength}} Combat Strength when attacking wounded units. When they eliminate a unit, they heal up to 50 hit points. ==Leader agenda== '''[[Honorable Warrior]]''' / Backstab Averse - She likes Civilizations who become her Friends, hates Civilizations who backstab her or declare Surprise wars on her. ==Quotes== *"Næ fequyston - mači zӕhæd gadzræxatæj racæugæjyl tug nyuuardzæn.
