Gary,
: The fact that Cyrus is born before his own mother addresses that Herodotus was lying
Eh, Cyrus was not born before his mother. That's a biological impossibility.
Herodotus basically told everything he'd heard. Something was right; a lot of it was nonsense. Especially the stuff he wrote about Kroisos and Cyrus is doubtful. He was not lying; he was wrong.
There are no problems with the established chronology, just with your total lack of thinking skills.
