Darius 2 (mar 3, 423 BC – jun 30, 404 BC)
Description:
Historians know little about Darius II's reign. A rebellion by the Medes in 409 BC is mentioned by Xenophon. It does seem that Darius II was quite dependent on his wife Parysatis. In excerpts from Ctesias some harem intrigues are recorded, in which he played a disreputable part.The Elephantine papyri mention Darius II as a contemporary of the high priest Johanan of Ezra 10:6.
