Ver traducción automática
According to the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus, Sardanapalus was the last of a line of 30 kings of Assyria. According to legend, he was responsible for the downfall of Assyria at the hands of an army of Medes, Persians, and Babylonians. Sardanapalus defeated the rebels thrice only to abandon the fight when his besieged royal capital of Ninus was flooded by the Euphrates River in apparent fulfillment of a prophecy. According to legend Sardanapalus built a pyre of his palace treasures, in which he and ordered himself burned to death with his servants and concubines.
