When Cyrus was about fifteen or sixteen years old, his uncle Cyaxares was married, and in celebrating his nuptials, he formed a great hunting party, to go to the frontiers between Media and Assyria to hunt there, where it was said that game of all kinds was very plentiful, as it usually was, in fact, in those days, in the neighborhood of disturbed and unsettled frontiers.
But when Agathocles, the son of Lysimachus, arrived with an army, he retreated into Phrygia, with an intention to pass into Armenia, believing that, if he could once plant his foot in Armenia, he might set Media in revolt, and gain a position in Upper Asia, where a fugitive commander might find a hundred ways of evasion and escape.
"Ay, he did speak of that what did he call it? Oh! 'one of the ways in which the Christian idea naturally embodied itself in imaginative minds! but the higher intellects, of course, would want fewer helps of that kind. 'They would see' ay, that was it 'the pure white light of truth, without requiring those coloured refracting media."
He said not, 'Come you to fight, you fogs and vapors? come you to dwell? or come you to fish in the sea? Go to, then, kings of Mardi!" Upon this, the old king fell back; and his place was supplied by a noble chief, of a free, frank bearing. Advancing quickly toward the boat, he exclaimed "I am Media, the son of Media.

His symphonies are perfect-truths and perfect for the orchestra of 1820 but Mahler could have made them possibly did make them we will say, "more perfect," as far as their media clothes are concerned, and Beethoven is today big enough to rather like it.
From the spacious and fruitful plains of Albania, the emperor appears to follow the chain of Hyrcanian Mountains, to descend into the province of Media or Irak, and to carry his victorious arms as far as the royal cities of Casbin and Ispahan, which had never been approached by a Roman conqueror.
But, latter-day sentiment happily forbidding such active expressions of ill-feeling on the part of the employer towards the employed, Helen was forced to swallow her wrath, reminding herself, meanwhile, that a confidential servant is either most invaluable of friends or most dangerous of enemies. There is no viâ media in the relation. And Zélie as an enemy was not to be thought of.
So with these poor serfs. And few of them could choose but be the brutes they seemed. Now needs it to be said, that Odo was no land of pleasure unalloyed, and plenty without a pause? Odo, in whose lurking-places infants turned from breasts, whence flowed no nourishment. Odo, in whose inmost haunts, dark groves were brooding, passing which you heard most dismal cries, and voices cursing Media.
The character of the Scythians, and the general nature of their ravages, have been described in a former portion of this work.

"All thanks to Hautia then; the bud is very fragrant." Then she pointed to the Venus-car. "This too is sweet; thanks to Hautia for her flowers. Pray, bring me more."
