There was probably some Genghis Khan tier dreadful warlord who raped thousands of people and conquered a lot of land giving the basis for Dyeus Phter.

Not quite BC, but Arminius gets honorable mention. He kicked the shit out of those fucking Romans so bad they never even bothered again. Arguably the only true loss Augustus ever had, and it secured the fate of the Western world for every moment thereafter.
Cyrus is sorta cool on paper, but we really don't know much about him, or even how he died. More intriguing than interesting.

cap. He died at the hands of the Scythian woman Tomyris, which is what Tolkien based Eowyn on. The "shieldmaidens" referenced in War of the Rohirrim is also a direct homage to Tomyris, as her victory over Cyrus was 190 years before the defeat of Ateas of the westernmost Scythians at the hands of Alexander the Greats father, where Skadi/Héra had to flee afterwards. Easterners and historians just pretend like they don't know because of the retardedly anal patriotism and misogyny found in modern day broad middle east and middle asia. The great Cyrus lost to a fucking woman. cry about it.
