Who is Croesus?
Croesus was the king of Lydia from 560 to 547 BC until his defeat by the Persians. The fall of Croesus made a profound impact on the Hellenes, providing a fixed point in their calendar.

Croesus was renowned for his wealth—Herodotus and Pausanias noted his gifts preserved at Delphi.
