This is Xenophon's noble lie. He didn't want leaders to follow cyrus who was honorable, just, kind, etc as in the long it weakens and might not be beneficial for the society. If persians stopped following their honor system then cyrus would not have died in the steppes of scythia. Darius 3 would not have lost to alexandre as he could've just stayed in persepolis and sent hundreds of thousands of his armies at once to overwhelm alexandre.
Whats the name of the intro song?

sadly, the Persians did not develop historiography.
