Kings of Persia, around 2500 years ago.
There was more than 1 Xerxes in Persian history, but if you're thinking of the same king who made the well-known failed attempt on Greece then his parents would be Darius I The Great and Atossa, Daughter of Cyrus the Great
No - Cyrus the Great.
Cyrus established the Persian Empire. Darius consolidated it. Each to his own success.
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. Ezra6:1
the great
A:Nebuchadnezzar reigned as king of Babylon from 605 to 562 BCE, and was defeated by King Cyrus the Great of Persia. Xerxes I was king of the Persian Empire from 486 to 465 BCE. Thus, Xerxes did not become king until almost eighty years after the death of Nebuchadnezzar, and could not have sent him to Jerusalem. Another thought:The one you may be thinking of is Artaxerxes Longimanus, (the successor of Xerxes), who is remembered for authorizing Ezra's return to Jerusalem around 468 BCE. (Ezra 7:1-26 / Ezra 8:24-36)

In the 5th century BC, Darius 1, or Darius the Great ruled Persia. At the time, it was a true empire. He installed distributed governing, by dividing the country and assigning Satraps to rule the parts in his name. He also uniformed the monetary system, the language and he pretty much wrote the Imperialist 101. Clever chap, really.
