There was a land North central of Todays's persian Gulf,up to Todays' " FARS " province of IRAN,by the name of " Persia " ( Fars ).....with a capital city of " Anshan " !,and at the same time, There was Area of land called " Medes " with the capital of " Ekbatana ", and also another land by the name of " Elamite " ( Elam ),by the capital of " Susa " ( Shush )......
Cyrus,came from " Anshan" of " Fars ", and later incorporated other lands.nevertheless, all land went under the Empire of Persians,and Persia.
Like wise,...there was no country,by the name of " Creece ", it was " Athen ", "Sparta "," Agora "," Thessaly "," Masedonia ",etc,etc....and they all later,known as " Greece " !,the name localy used for the people of many lands.......just like " IRAN ",( land of aryans ).
