Persian Empire, Lydia, Darius I, Sep 522 - Oct 486 B.C.
|Persian| |Lydia|, |Persian| |Empire,| |Lydia,| |Darius| |I,| |Sep| |522| |-| |Oct| |486| |B.C.|,
Darius I the Great ruled the Persian Empire at its peak. He is mentioned in the Biblical books of Ezra, Nehemiah, Daniel, Haggai, and Zechariah. He continued to allow the Jewish people to return to Israel and provided money for the restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem, which was completed in his sixth year. Darius invaded Greece to subjugate it and to punish Athens and Eretria for aiding the Ionian Revolt. He subjugated Thrace and forced Macedon to become a client kingdom, but his campaign ended at Marathon, where he was famously defeated by a smaller Greek army.Greco-Persian Wars
