The name of Xerxes is associated in the minds of men with the idea of the highest attainable elevation of human magnificence and grandeur.
크세르크세스의 이름은 인간의 마음속에 인간이 도달할 수 있는 최고의 위엄과 웅장함이라는 개념과 연관되어 있습니다.
This monarch was the sovereign of the ancient Persian empire when it was at the height of its prosperity and power.
이 군주는 고대 페르시아 제국이 번영과 권력의 절정에 달했을 때 그 제국의 군주였습니다.
It is probable, however, that his greatness and fame lose nothing by the manner in which his story comes down to us through the Greek historians.
그러나 그의 이야기가 그리스 역사가들을 통해 우리에게 전해지는 방식 때문에 그의 위대함과 명성이 조금도 줄어들지 않았을 가능성이 있습니다.
The Greeks conquered Xerxes, and, in relating his history, they magnify the wealth, the power, and the resources of his empire, by way of exalting the greatness and renown of their own exploits in subduing him.
그리스인들은 크세르크세스를 정복했고, 그의 역사를 이야기하면서 그들이 그를 정복한 위대함과 명성을 드높이는 방식으로 그의 제국의 부와 권력과 자원을 과장했습니다.
The mother of Xerxes was Atossa, a daughter of Cyrus the Great, who was the founder of the Persian empire.
크세르크세스의 어머니는 페르시아 제국의 창건자인 키루스 대왕의 딸 아토사였다.
Cyrus was killed in Scythia, a wild and barbarous region lying north of the Black and Caspian Seas.
키루스는 흑해와 카스피해 북쪽에 위치한 야만적이고 거친 지역인 스키티아에서 죽임을 당했습니다.
His son Cambyses succeeded him.
그의 아들 캄비세스가 그의 뒤를 이었다.
A kingdom, or an empire, was regarded, in ancient days, much in the light of an estate, which the sovereign held as a species of property, and which he was to manage mainly with a view to the promotion of his own personal aggrandizement and pleasure.
고대에는 왕국이나 제국을 군주가 일종의 재산으로 소유하고 주로 자신의 개인적인 팽창과 쾌락을 증진하기 위해 관리해야 하는 영토와 매우 유사한 것으로 여겼습니다.
