Hvakhshathra the Great(हवकश्त्रा महान):The Great King of Medes( Old Persian Māda) Empire.
Cyaxares or Hvakhshathra ( r. 625–585 BC), the son of King Phraortes, was the third and most capable king of Media. According to Herodotus, Cyaxares, grandson of Deioces, had a far greater military reputation than his father or grandfather. He was the first to divide his troops into separate sections of spear-men, archers, and horsemen.
By uniting the Iranian tribes of Ancient Iran and conquering territory, Cyaxares allowed the Median Empire to become a regional power.During his rule, the Neo-Assyrian Empire fell.
