Originally published as «Xenophonte Della vita di Cyro re de Persia» (Italian)

The Cyropaedia, sometimes spelled Cyropedia, is a partly fictional biography of Cyrus the Great, the founder of Persia's Achaemenid Empire. It was written around 370 BC by Xenophon, the Athenian-born soldier, historian, and student of Socrates. The Latinized title Cyropaedia derives from the Greek Kúrou paideía, meaning The Education of Cyrus. Aspects of it would become a model for medieval writers of the genre mirrors for princes.
