No. Darius in the book of Daniel is also known as Gobryas (or Gubaru) who governed Babylon under Cyrus and had the title of amel pihate over Babylon at the time of Daniel. Babylon fell in 539 BC and Gobyras took over as ruler for some years afterwards.
The King Darius in Greece during the 5th century was a Persian ruler over a vast empire and is a different person. He lived 521-486 BC.

Was Darius in the Book of Daniel historical?
Yes, Darius was a historical person, but he was not the person who conquered Babylon and freed the Jews, as stated in the Book of Daniel. He was also not the son of Xerxes, rather the father of Xerxes. Cyrus the Great, who ruled the Persian Empire from c. 560-530 BCE, was the conqueror of Babylon and the great king who allowed the Jews to return to Judah if they wished. Darius ruled the Persian Empire 522 - 486 BCE.
How did the prophet Daniel live under God's will?
A:The Book of Daniel says that Daniel was steadfast in his worship of God, regardless ofthe dangers placed in his way. He became the second most important person in the Babylonian empire of Nebuchadnezzar, although Nebuchadnezzar's son and successor seems not to have known about him. On the same evidence, he subsequently became the second most important person in the Persian empire, after Darius conquered the Babylonians. However, biblical scholars say that the Book of Daniel was a second-century-BCE novel, written long after the Babylonian Exile that was the setting for the book. Just one of the many historical errors is that it was Cyrus the Great who conquered Babylon, not Darius. From a historical perspective, there never was a Daniel, so he never really lived under God's will.
Was Daniel a direct descendant of King Solomon?
A:No one living in the sixth century BCE could have known if he was descended from a king who lived some four centuries earlier, but in Daniel's case, it is easy to say that he was not. Biblical scholars say that the Book of Daniel was actually a second-century-BCE novel, so Daniel was a character in this novel, not a real person.
Why was Darius an important person in ancient Greece?

Are Darius King of Persia and Cyrus King of Persia the same person?
No. Cyrus the Great was the Persian king who defeated the Babylonians and allowed the captive Jews (and other ethnic groups) to return to their homelands. Cambyses succeeded after the death of Cyrus, then Bardia (or Smerdis) usurped the throne while Cambyses was in the provinces, coincidently shortly before his death. Darius overthrew Bardia and ruled as king. The confusion between Cyrus and Darius arises because the Book of Daniel, believed to have been written in the second century BCE, incorrectly attributed the defeat of the Babylonians and the freeing of the Jews to Darius.AnswerThe bible clearly shows that Cyrus and Darius are different and shows that Cyrus was the one who released the Jews but because of the opposition, years later Darius had to search for the memorandum that Cyrus had written and order that the work be continued as it had stopped due to opposition from the surrounding people.
