Sargon's lowering brow was black as night, and to the vociferous greetings of his countrymen he returned but a silent scowl.

Sargon nodded, and his white teeth gleamed between the curls of his jetty beard.

Those of his friends who were near enough to observe Sargon's face hardly recognised him.

The story of his being exposed in an ark of bulrushes is a myth probably derived from the similar and much earlier myth of Sargon.

Sargon erected an image of himself by the shore of the sea, and seems even to have received tribute from Cyprus.
