Darius I, also known as Darius the Great, was the third king of the Persian Empire, reigning from 522 to 486 BCE. He is known for his administrative reforms and expansion of the empire, but he harbored animosity towards the Greeks, primarily due to their resistance against Persian rule. This animosity was exacerbated by events such as the Ionian Revolt, where Greek city-states rebelled against Persian control, and the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE, where the Greeks achieved a surprising victory over his forces. Darius viewed the Greeks as a threat to his empire's stability and expansion.
