Sydney Olympic Park : Cyrus the Great Sculpture

Sydney Olympic Park - formerly part of Homebush Bay, named as a separate suburb in 2009. The majority of the large structures and parks here were created specifically for the 2000 Summer Olympics; the area was formerly home to a number of abattoirs and associated businesses.

This particular item is a replica of a bas relief discovered in the city of Persian capital Pasargade of Cyrus the Great (580–529 BC) - who founded the city. Cyrus is depicted in a Babylonian costume, Jewish helmet, with two wings and a short Persian beard.

Cyrus issued a decree on his aims and policies, forming the first known Declaration of Human Rights. Created by Lewis Batros and Fereshteh Sadegh, this 1994 sculpture is a celebration of multiculturalism.
