Darius in many languages is a name. This means that is pronounced the same way in all languages in the world.
The scholarly pronunciation is with a long I (duh-RY-us) while the typical pronunciation is with a long E (DAH-ree-us). This is true of other words from Greek such as denarius, a coin, which should be pronounced (dih-nar-EE-us) but is typically pronounced as (din-AH-ree-us).
