Xerxes I, the Persian king, is best known for his invasion of Greece during the Greco-Persian Wars, particularly the battles of Thermopylae and Salamis in 480 BCE. After suffering significant defeats, he returned to Persia, where he faced challenges in maintaining his empire. Xerxes was eventually assassinated in 465 BCE by members of his own court, leading to a succession crisis and further instability in the Persian Empire. His reign marked both the height of Persian power and the beginning of its decline.
