Cyrus spares Croesus' life when he realizes he is an ordinary man. First Cyrus orders that Croesus burns to death on a pyre because he wants to prove that he has supernatural powers that would prevent him from burning. Then Cyrus changes his mind. However, his servants can't put out the flames, so Croesus prays to Apollo and a storm extinguishes the fire.
In the end, Cyrus is certain that Croesus is a good man and makes him his advisor.
Compound there are two sentences connected by a semicolon, you can tell because they each have their own subject (the musician, she) and their own verb (preform, had).
My question was deleted because it was "incomplete", but I'll answer again.
Simple
This sentence is simple because it contains one singular idea. It may be incorrectly identified as compound because the subject is compound (Forest rangers and volunteers). This is an easy mistake.
