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.
He was son of Megabyzus, who helped Darius I in his ascension. When Babylon revolted against the rule of Darius I, Zopyrus devised a plan to regain control of the vital city. By cutting off his own nose and ears, and then having himself whipped, he arrived at the court of Darius. He told the ruler of his plan: He would go before the people of Babylon and proclaim himself an exile punished by Darius. Gaining the Babylonians' trust, Zopyrus soon became commander-in-chief of their army, allowing him to weaken the city's defenses. With this, Darius' armies victoriously reconquered the city. Zopyrus was made satrap. The veracity of this story is debatable. First, the story resembles Homer's description of Odysseus, who spied on Troy after mutilating himself. Second, no cuneiform sources mention Zopyrus as satrap of Babylon. According to Herodotus, Zopyrus had a son named Megabyzus.
I think not. Darius Mede may not be in the line of Darius I, II, III. it's just a 'Darius" in Daniel who ordered Daniel to be put in the lion's den. He could be coexisting with Cyrus II to oversee Babylon while Cyrus II is King of Persia.
