In the [[Hero's Grave]] [[sidequest]] for Frog, Cyrus' ghost haunts the [[Northern Ruins]] in the present as an invincible boss. Crono and his party were unable to harm the ghost with either techs or normal attacks. Eventually, Frog recognized the ghost as Cyrus and tried to placate him. Cyrus, however, was enraged and the party was forced to flee. Traveling back to [[600 AD]], the team cleared the resident monsters out of the ruins and supplied the local carpenters with tools to repair the damaged structure. With the repair work complete, they re-entered the facility and discovered Cyrus' grave. Cyrus' spirit rose and talked briefly with Frog, who successfully, yet emotionally, comforted his former mentor with the knowledge of Magus' defeat. As Cyrus transcended into the afterlife, the [[Masamune]] experienced a massive power gain, reinstating it as Frog's ultimate weapon in the game. | In the [[Hero's Grave]] [[sidequest]] for Frog, Cyrus' ghost haunts the [[Northern Ruins]] in the present as an invincible boss.

*Cyrus and his fellow knights refer to themselves as "The Knights of the Square Table," an allusion to King Arthur and The Knights of the Round Table. And indeed, the tables in the mess halls of [[Guardia Castle]], where the knights are fed, in both [[Present]] and the [[Middle Ages]], are square. The pun only appeared in SNES versions of the game. | *Cyrus and his fellow knights refer to themselves as "The Knights of the Square Table," an allusion to King Arthur and The Knights of the Round Table.

* In {{CC}}, [[Pierre]] performs a [[Tech]] called [[SlapOfCyrus]]. Because Pierre greatly resembles [[Tata]], this tech is likely a nod toward Cyrus. | |||

The name Cyrus means "far sighted" or "young" in Greek and is sometimes associated with the Greek word κυριος (kyrios), which means "lord". Several kings of Persia have this name, including Cyrus the Great who conquered Babylon. In the Old Testament of the Bible, Cyrus the Great is famous for freeing the captive Jews and allowing them to return to Israel. He was, and still is, largely considered a hero. | The name Cyrus means "far sighted" or "young" in Greek and is sometimes associated with the Greek word κυριος (kyrios), which means "lord".
