Don't think so. The members from Mede dynasty in game are Imperials. In TES we clearly know that Imperials are clearly inspired by Roman and Greek history (Tiberius, Septimus, Antiochus where Roman Emperors or Hellenistic Greeks Kings). However, if you take a look at some Redguard names, you will see some interesting points about what you're talking about. For instance, in Oblivion, one of the blade member from the Cloud Ruler Temple is a Redguard called Cyrus. And we know that historically, Cyrus the Great was the one who overthrown the Mede dynasty and found the Achaemenid Empire (around 550-330 BC).
