Darius
Darius (דָּֽרְיָוֵשׁ, Dâryāvēsh) designates the royal name or title borne by several Persian kings mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. The term refers specifically to Darius I (Darius the Great), who reigned from 522–486 BCE, and possibly to other Darius figures (e.g., Darius the Mede in Daniel, whose historical identification is disputed). In biblical usage, the word consistently refers to a sovereign of Persia, most frequently the ruler under whom the early restoration of the Jerusalem Temple took place.
