Along with acquiring Ionia and Aeolis, Cyrus also had the Egyptian soldiers, who fought on behalf of the Lydians, voluntarily surrender and join Cyrus' army.[9] According to the Greek author Herodotus, Cyrus treated Croesus well and with respect after the battle.[10] The Babylonian Nabonidus Chronicle apparently contradicts that, reporting that Cyrus defeated and killed the king, however, the identity of the Lydian king is unclear.[11]
