Haman was a high-ranking official in the Persian Empire who plotted to exterminate the Jewish people. He convinced the king to issue a decree to kill all Jews, but his plan was foiled by Queen Esther, who revealed his evil intentions to the king. In the end, Haman was hanged on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai, Esther's cousin, and the Jewish people were saved.
King Cyrus and Queen Esther were not directly related by blood. King Cyrus was a Persian king who reigned during the 6th century BCE and is known for allowing the Jews to return to Jerusalem after their exile. Queen Esther, on the other hand, was a Jewish queen who lived during the same time period and is known for saving the Jewish people from a plot to destroy them. While they may have interacted indirectly due to their roles in Persian history, there is no direct familial relationship between them.
See for example Judges chapter 4. Also: Exodus chapter 2.
According to the Tanakh and Jewish tradition, Esther was the heroine and central figure in the Biblical book of Esther. She was a beautiful Jewish woman, who became the wife of the Persian king Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) several decades after the destruction of the First Temple. She and her cousin Mordecai (who once saved the king's life) persuaded the king to cancel an order for the extermination of the Jews in his vast realm, plotted by the king's chief minister, Haman. Instead, Haman was hanged on the gallows he had built for Mordecai, and the Jews were given permission to destroy their enemies. The Jewish festival of Purim celebrates this event. According to tradition, the book of Esther was written in the mid-4th century BCE while the last prophets were still alive (Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi), and was part of the canon which was sealed not long after.Additional facts: Esther was a Jewess, who lived during the Babylonian exile. When Esther was orphaned, she was then adopted by her cousin Mordecai, who became her foster father. When Queen Vashti refused to go to Ahasuerus (in Chapter 1), Memucan, a Persian royal advisor, advised King Ahasuerus to remove Vashti from being Queen of Persia, and King Ahasuerus agreed to his advice. In Esther Chapter 2, royal eunuchs advised Ahasuerus to look for a new queen, a virgin. Esther was the best-looking one, and Ahasuerus picked her to replace Vashti.According to Jewish tradition, Esther was queen for about 11 years.The name of Mordechai is considered identical to the name Marduka, which is attested as the name of officials in the Persian court in the Persepolis Texts from the period of Xerxes I. One of these officials might very well be the biblical Mordecai.The grave of Mordecai and Esther still stands in Hamadan; and the Jews of Iran, to this day, are referred to as "the children of Esther."For the name of Esther, a number of etymologies are possible.1) Esther comes from the Persian "setareh," meaning "star".2) Esther comes from the Aramaic "istahar," meaning "moon." Beautiful as the moon (Talmud, Megillah 13a).3) Esther comes from the Semitic root aθtar (ath-tar), "morning star." There is support for this too in the Talmud (Yoma 29a).4) Esther comes from the Median "astra," meaning "myrtle." The book of Esther (2:7) states that she had both names, Esther and Myrtle (Hadassah in Hebrew).
A:Over the centuries, there have been many Persian queens. For example, King Xerxes was married to Queen Amestris for at least the first several years of his reign. On the other hand, the Book of Esther says that he was married to Queen Vashti for the first three years of his reign and then Queen Esther. In real life, these marriages never actually took place, because there was never either a Queen Vashti nor a Queen Esther of Persia. Scholars say that the Book of Esther was a second-century-BCE Jewish novel.
