Abstract: This article analyzes Josephus' idea that the Babylonian Empire was divided between Darius the Mede and Cyrus the Persian. Josephus' idea was actually developed from different texts in the Old Testament, which mentioned the fall of Babylon through the Medes or the Persian Cyrus. Josephus also used similar approaches elsewhere in his works.
