Cyrus (Kuruš) the Younger, son of Darius II of Persia (Darayavahuš) and Parysatis, was a Persian prince and general. The time of his birth is unknown, but he died in 401 B.C. The history of Cyrus and of the retreat of the Greeks is told by Xenophon in his Anabasis. Another account, probably from Sophaenetus of Stymphalus, was used by Ephorus. Further information is contained in the excerpts from Ctesias by Photius; also Plutarch’s lives of Artaxerxes II and Lysander. These are the only sources of information for Cyrus the Younger.
