كرويسيوس هو ملك ليديا من الأسرة الميرمنادية، وحكم بين عامي 560 – 546 ق م وكان قد خلف والده ألياتس الثاني بعد أن خاض حربا مع أخيه غير الشقيق، وأكمل فتح أيونيا بالسيطرة على إفسوس وميليتوس وأماكن أخرى، ومد الإمبراطورية حتى نهر هاليس. وجمع ثروة من التجارة كانت مضرب الأمثال واستخدم جزءا منها في تأمين التحالفات مع الدول الإغريقية التي مدت جيشه بأساطيلهم.
