His predecessors, especially Darius, had not been successful in their attempts to conciliate the ancient civilizations. The name of the king is found in Aramaic in the panels of the Dura-Europos synagogue 3rdcentury C. Refresh and try again. Xerxes occupied and then burned Athens. Last king of the empire. The Greeks responded with a pan-Hellenic league for defense. Xerxes short fuse went off. The king himself became involved in intrigues of the harem and was much dependent upon courtiers and eunuchs. It is the depiction of a man through his environment and the events in which he was involved, rather than through himself. His name was discovered to be Kabujiya in Persian and in Aramaic documents from Egypt from the 5thcent. There is much conjecture, myth, and numerous interpretations, and this book tries to make some sense of it all, and to provide a well-researched best guess as to who Xerxes was, and what he achieved in his life. The story continues at Susa, with the exact time of the continuation unspecified. He became a drunken, embittered man, a pawn of his scheming courtiers, and was murdered in Susa by the captain of the guards. The Athenians were capable warriors with a distinguished Navy, yet they also fostered a deep appreciation for philosophy, poetry, and art. Xerxes father sent messengers to every ruler in Greece demanding a tribute of earth and water as a show of submission to Persia. Richard Stoneman. He is alternatively identified, together with the Ahasuerus of the Book of Tobit, as Cyaxares I, said to be the father of Astyages. Ahasuerus - Wikipedia. Xerxes is familiar to students of the Bible since he appears in two books: in the book of Esther he is called by his Hebrew name Ahasuerus; and in the book of Ezra he is mentioned in relation to an accusation lodged against the Jews in his reign. Since the early s the main focus of my research has been Alexander the Great, especially in later legend. But by heading down the path of biography, rather than the study of lore and Nachleben , Stoneman has taken a wrong turn into a historical cul-de-sac. Once his men had crushed their way through, he had Leonidas head chopped off and his body crucified on a spike. After killing Xerxes, Artabanus went to Xerxes' son Artaxerxes and told him that his brother Darius was the murderer. Xerxes gave the command for this digging out of pride, wishing to display his power and leave a memorial. Estimates of his forces are ridiculously overblown. Thus, linguistically speaking, identifying Khshayarsha with the Greek Xerxes and the Hebrew Achashverosh is accepted by contemporary scholars. Load Next Page. Although the residents of the various Greek city-states shared some basic cultural similarities, they also fought and vied for power amongst themselves. This Is Not Sparta. Assuming that Esther is to be identified with Amestris, what do the sources tell us about this person? The role played by verse is that of resumptive repetition. Abby rated it liked it Apr 23, Xerxes : A Persian Life Writer Although he was not an active soldier as his father had been before him, Xerxes was schooled in statecraft through his position as viceroy of Babylon. At the time Xerxes achieved the throne, the Persian empire was at its height, with a number of Persian satrapies governmental provinces established from India and central Asia to modern Uzbekistan, westward in North Africa to Ethiopia and Libya and the eastern shores of the Mediterranean.

Estimates of his forces are ridiculously overblown. Xerxes had some issues with anger. Henry was fluent in French and Latin. Mardonius encouraged Xerxes to undertake his own invasion.. The investiture may have taken place at Zendan-e-Suleiman Solomon's Prison at Pasargadae, a sanctuary of the goddess Anahita near the hollow cone of an ancient volcano. The chapter on religion is fascinating, covering Zoroastrianism and its earlier incarnations. It also suggests that Xerxes and his father Darius I represented religious revolution in Iran. Although some slight linguistic connection between the name Amestris and the name Vashti Persian sht to Greek st seems possible, a stronger connection exists between the Greek Amestris and the Hebrew Esther:. He has produced much fine work both as a translator and an interpreter of ancient legends and lore, and doubtless will continue to do so. Conquered the Medians in and the Babylonians in He left inscriptions at Persepolis , where he added a new palace to that of Darius, at Van in Armenia , and on Mount Elvend near Ecbatana. The Greeks preserved the Arta of the first part of his name, Artakhshaa, but then just tacked on xerxes, the name of his father, as the second part of his name. Ahasuerus is also given as the name of a King of Persia in the Book of Ezra. Xerxes : A Persian Life Reviews Xerxes was designated heir apparent by his father in preference to his elder brother Artabazanes. The principal source on Xerxes is Herodotus, Histories, but it ends with the failure of Xerxes invasion; information on his later years appears only in isolated references. He burned incense on the bridge and threw golden bottles into the waterwhich, according to Herodotus, was his attempt to apologize to the sea. He had another theory. His invasion of Greece should be seen in this light; he did it not because he was warlike or reckless, but because he needed to as a proof of his greatness. If you love mysteries and thrillers, get ready for dozens Esther then initiated a covert plan to defeat Haman using her grace and beauty. After cursing Pythius out for a full minute, he barked, You shall be punished by the life of the one you must desire to keep. Had it not been for Themistocles, Greece never would have developed into the philosophic cultural cornerstone it became. OSO version 0. Without doubt, this work has been comprehensively researched, and it is to Stoneman's credit that endnotes are made available to detail the evidence used. He also uses later depictions of Xerxes in art and literature as a starting point; basically saying that many of these authors had the few known facts, and then used their own interpretations of these to create their view of the man.

Godley, 1920) 90. Now on the same day when the Persians were so stricken at Plataea, it so happened that they suffered a similar fate at Mykale in Ionia. When the Greeks who had come in their ships with Leutychides the Lacedaemonian were encamped at Delos, certain messengers came to them there from Samos, Lampon of Thrasycles, Athenagoras son of Archestratides, and Hegesistratus son of Aristagoras. The Samians had sent these, keeping their despatch secret from the Persians and the tyrant Theomestor son of Androdamas, whom the Persians had made tyrant of Samos. [2] When they came before the generals, Hegesistratus spoke long and vehemently: “If the Ionians but see you,” he said, “they will revolt from the Persians, and the barbarians will not remain; but if they do remain, you will have such a prey as never again. “He begged them in the name of the gods of their common worship to deliver Greeks from slavery and drive the barbarian away. [3] That, he said, would be an easy matter for them, “for the Persian ships are unseaworthy and no match for yours; and if you have any suspicion that we may be tempting you deceitfully, we are ready to be taken in your ships as hostages.” 91. As the Samian stranger was pleading so earnestly, Leutychides asked him (whether it was that he desired to know for the sake of a presage, or through some happy chance of a god), “Samian stranger, what is your name?” “Hegesistratus,” he replied.

  • The Second After the King and Achaemenid Bactria on Classical Sources
    The Second after the King and Achaemenid Bactria on Classical Sources MANEL GARCÍA SÁNCHEZ Universidad de Barcelona–CEIPAC* ABSTRACT The government of the Achaemenid Satrapy of Bactria is frequently associated in Classical sources with the Second after the King. Although this relationship did not happen in all the cases of succession to the Achaemenid throne, there is no doubt that the Bactrian government considered it valuable and important both for the stability of the Empire and as a reward for the loser in the succession struggle to the Achaemenid throne. KEYWORDS Achaemenid succession – Achaemenid Bactria – Achaemenid Kingship Crown Princes – porphyrogenesis Beyond the tradition that made of Zoroaster the and harem royal intrigues among the successors King of the Bactrians, Rege Bactrianorum, qui to the throne in the Achaemenid Empire primus dicitur artes magicas invenisse (Justinus (Shahbazi 1993; García Sánchez 2005; 2009, 1.1.9), Classical sources sometimes relate the 155–175). It is in this context where we might Satrapy of Bactria –the Persian Satrapy included find some explicit references to the reward for Sogdiana as well (Briant 1984, 71; Briant 1996, the prince who lost the succession dispute: the 403 s.)– along with the princes of the offer of the government of Bactria as a Achaemenid royal family and especially with compensation for the damage done after not the ruled out prince in the succession, the having been chosen as a successor of the Great second in line to the throne, sometimes King (Sancisi–Weerdenburg 1980, 122–139; appointed in the sources as “the second after the Briant 1984, 69–80).

  • In Order to Understand the Final Kings and Kingdoms in the Book of Revelation One Must Follow the Progression Presented in Daniel
    In order to understand the final kings and kingdoms in the book of Revelation one must follow the progression presented in Daniel. Daniel begins with the Kingdom of Babylon, learns of the coming of the Medo‐Persian Empire and is given visions of Greece and Rome. The final kingdoms to come are sealed up for another day; to be revealed to John in the Revelation of Jesus Christ. The timing of events are revealed in Daniel 9. “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate” There is a purpose to the time determined upon Israel; to make reconciliation for iniquity; to bring in everlasting righteousness; and to seal up and anoint.

PREFACE BY THE GENERAL EDITOR FOR THE OLD TESTAMENT. THE present General Editor for the Old Testament in the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges desires to say that, in accordance with the policy of his predecessor the Bishop of Worcester, he does not hold himself responsible for the particular interpreta­ tions adopted or for the opinions expressed by the editors of the several Books, nor has he endeavoured to bring them into agreement with one another. It is inevitable that there should be differences of opinion in regard to many questions of criticism and interpretation, and it seems best that these differences should find free expression in different volumes. He has endeavoured to secure, as far as possible, that the general scope and character of the series should be observed, and that views which have ·a reasonable claim to consideration should not be ignored, but he has felt it best that the final responsibility should, in general, rest with the individual contributors.

  • An Updated Chronology of the Reigns of Phoenician Kings During the Persian Period (539-333 BCE)
    An Updated Chronology of the Reigns of Phoenician Kings during the Persian Period (539-333 BCE) J. ELAYI* Résumé: L’objectif de cet article est de proposer une chronologie des règnes des rois phéniciens à l’époque perse (539-333 av. notre ère), à partir de toutes les données disponibles dans l’état actuel de la documentation. Cette chronologie à jour et prudente pourra être utilisée comme base fiable par tous les spécialistes du Proche-Orient à l’époque perse. The chronology of the reigns of Phoenician kings during the Persian Period (539-333 BCE)1 is very difficult to establish for several reasons. First, the Persian period remained virtually unexplored until the last 20 years2; moreover, Phoenician studies were for a long time dependent on biblical chronology3. On the other hand, the deficiency of the sources has to be underlined. Monumental inscriptions mentioning kings and dated by the years of reign are rare in Phoenician cities, partly because many of them have disappeared in lime kilns, and perishable official *. CNRS, Paris. 1. 539 is the traditional date for the Persian conquest of Phoenician cities: see J.
