In the times before the Persian Empire, the Medes were known as Aryans.
The Aryans lived among the Persians for many generations but were never assimilated into the Persian culture and thus retained their own distinct customs.
The Aryans were listed separately from the Medes as Persian allies during the invasion of Greece in 490 BCE; they carried bows like the Medes but otherwise the Aryans were more Asian in appearance.
