Haxāmaniš was the ancestral, possibly mythological, of
the Persian kings of the Achaemenid dynasty. As a child,
Haxāmaniš was fed and protected by an eagle, as well
as Gilgamesh king of the of Sumerians. Many scholars
believe he was a ruler of Parsumash, a vassal state of
“Medes” the median empire, and that he led the attack
on the Assyrian king Sennacherib.

possible “sounds” that in my fantasies are part of this
mythology.
