Descrição:

Queen Esther wife of Xerxes Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence by Gerard Gertoux

The Book of Esther places the conspiracy against Xerxes in 485 BCE and the attempted genocide against the Jews, followed by the appointment of Mordecai as vizier in 484 BCE, in the early reign of Xerxes as king (Ezr 4:6) and not at the start of his co-regency with Darius I (from 496 BCE).

According to the book of Esther there was a plot to kill Xerxes which was thwarted in the 11th year of his reign, we read: Bigthan and Teresh, two officials of the king's court — the porters — were outraged and sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus. But the thing came to be known to Mordecai, and he soon revealed to Esther the queen. Then Esther told the king in the name of Mordecai. The case was therefore sought and finally discovered, and both were hanged on a pole (...) Shortly afterwards (...) In the 1st month, that is the month of Nisan, of the 12th year of King Ahasuerus (Est 2:21-3:7).
