Xerxes I (the Great) of Persia ruled for 21 years, from 486 to 465 B.C.
Xerxes was a descendant of Cyrus the Great, as he belonged to the Achaemenid dynasty that Cyrus founded. Specifically, Xerxes was the son of Darius I, who was a direct successor of Cyrus. This lineage made Xerxes a member of the royal family that ruled over the Persian Empire, which Cyrus established in the 6th century BCE.
Xerxes mother was Atossa, Darius I of Persia wife and Cyrus the Greats' daughter.

Cyrus the Great, Darius I, Xerxes, and Darius II were all great Persian rulers.
Yes, Darius was a historical person, but he was not the person who conquered Babylon and freed the Jews, as stated in the Book of Daniel. He was also not the son of Xerxes, rather the father of Xerxes. Cyrus the Great, who ruled the Persian Empire from c. 560-530 BCE, was the conqueror of Babylon and the great king who allowed the Jews to return to Judah if they wished. Darius ruled the Persian Empire 522 - 486 BCE.
