What was the name of Darius' new Persian capital?

I am trying to find the answer to that question also. The problem seems to be that Persia had different capitals at different times. Apparently Cyrus madePasargadae the capital; Darius I made Persepolis a capital, Persepolis is a Greek name for the Persian Parsa, but Susa, Mashhad, Ecbatana, Ctesiphon, Isfahan, Tabriz, and Tehran might also be correct answers. Ctesiphon may be the same as Isfahan.Alterate Answer:Persia at different points in history had different capitals. Persepolis, Ecbatana, Susa, Pasargade, and Babylon were considered capitals of Persia during the Achaemenid period. Seleucia became capital of Persia under the Seleucid dynasty. Ctesiphon became the capital of Persia under the Parthians and the Sassanids. Shiraz was the capital of Persia under the Buyids. Tabriz was the capital of Persia under Mongol and Turk rule. Isfahan was the capital of Persia under the Safavids. Mashad was the capital of Persia during the Afsharid dynasty and Tehran became the capital of Persia following the establishment of the Qajar dynasty. (FYI: Ctesiphon and Seleucia were within a few miles apart from each other and were in modern day Iraq. Isfahan and Ctesiphon are not different names for the same city).Persepolis.

Why did Darius of Persia began a series of wars against the Greek?

Darius of Persia began a series of wars against the Greeks primarily to expand his empire and assert Persian dominance in the region. The catalyst for these conflicts was the Ionian Revolt (499-494 BCE), where Greek city-states in Asia Minor rebelled against Persian rule, prompting Darius to seek retribution. Additionally, he aimed to punish Athens for its support of the revolt and to deter any further insurrections. These wars ultimately culminated in the famous battles of Marathon and later conflicts during the Greco-Persian Wars.

What are facts about darius king of Persia?

- Darius murdered Gaumata and in his own person restored the royal line. - Though Darius was an excellent soldier and extended his empire east, north, and into Europe, he saw himself as an organizer and lawgiver rather than as a mere conqueror. - Darius established a system of well-maintained all-weather roads and a royal courier system with post-houses and regular relays of horses and riders in Persia. - Darius, himself a firm supporter of Ahura Mazda, the Zoroastrian god, said in the Behistun inscription that Ahura Mazda "gave" him his kingdoms, and with him Zoroastrianism became something like the national religion of the Persians. For the empire, however, he continued Cyrus's policy of toleration of local cults, and this mildness became and remained, except perhaps under Xerxes, a distinctive feature of Persian rule.\ - Darius I "the Great" (549-486 BCE) was a king of Persia who ruled for 35 years, from September 522 BCE to October 486 BCE. He was the third Achaemenian king and was considered by many to be "the greatest of the Achaemenian kings." During his reign, Darius completed the work of his predecessors, and not only did he "hold together the empire," but he also extended it in all directions. Thus, with Darius as Great King, Achaemenian Persia became the largest empire in the world.
