The Persian monarchy appears, in fact, even as we look back upon it from this remote distance both of space and of time, as a very vast wave of human power and grandeur.

실제로 우리가 이처럼 먼 공간과 시간에서 되돌아볼 때에도 페르시아 왕조는 인간의 힘과 위엄이 넘실거린 매우 거대한 물결처럼 보입니다.

It swelled up among the populations of Asia, between the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea, about five hundred years before Christ, and rolled on in undiminished magnitude and glory for many centuries.

그것은 기원전 약 500년경 페르시아 만과 카스피 해 사이의 아시아 인구 사이에서 번성하여 수 세기 동안 그 규모와 영광이 줄어들지 않고 계속되었습니다.

It bore upon its crest the royal line of Astyages and his successors.

그 문장에는 아스티아게스와 그의 후계자들의 왕족 계보가 새겨져 있었습니다.

Cyrus was, however, the first of the princes whom it held up conspicuously to the admiration of the world and he rode so gracefully and gallantly on the lofty crest that mankind have given him the credit of raising and sustaining the magnificent billow on which he was borne.

그러나 키루스는 세상의 감탄을 자아내도록 눈에 띄게 드러낸 첫 번째 군주였으며, 그는 그 높은 파도 위에 너무나 우아하고 용감하게 올라탔기에 사람들은 그가 타고 있던 그 웅장한 파도를 일으키고 유지한 공로를 그에게 돌렸습니다.

How far we are to consider him as founding the monarchy, or the monarchy as raising and illustrating him, will appear more fully in the course of this narrative.

우리가 그를 왕정을 세운 사람으로 여겨야 할지, 아니면 왕정이 그를 세우고 본보기로 삼아야 할지는 이 이야기의 전개 과정에서 더욱 분명해질 것입니다.

Cotemporaneous with this Persian monarchy in the East, there flourished in the West the small but very efficient and vigorous republics of Greece.

동방의 페르시아 왕정과 동시대에 서방에서는 작지만 매우 효율적이고 활기찬 그리스 공화국이 번성했습니다.

The Greeks had a written character for their language which could be easily and rapidly executed, while the ordinary language of the Persians was scarcely written at all.

그리스인들은 쉽고 빠르게 쓸 수 있는 문자 체계를 가지고 있었지만, 페르시아인들의 일반적인 언어는 거의 문자로 쓰이지 않았습니다.

There was, it is true, in this latter nation, a certain learned character, which was used by the priests for their mystic records, and also for certain sacred books which constituted the only national archives.

사실 이 후자의 민족에는 제사장들이 신비로운 기록과 유일한 국가 기록 보관소를 구성하는 특정 성서에 사용했던 어떤 학문적인 문자가 있었습니다.
