Darius II

Darius II was the sixth emperor of the Achaemenid Empire, and a pharaoh of the 27th Dynasty (First Persian Domination) from 423 to 405 B.C. He also was a governor of Babylon from 435 to 423 B.C., from which he dated his regnal years. He succeeded his father, Artaxerxes I, and ruled Egypt above Amasis. Little is known about this pharaoh in the traditional history, but more is known from the revised.

Darius was the son of Artaxerxes I, son of Xerxes I, son of Darius I. This links him back to the rest of the 27th Dynasty. He had several sons, but the most important was Artaxerxes II, who succeeded him.

In 423 B.C., Artaxerxes I died and Darius II became Persian emperor. In Egypt, Amasis was governor, and Egypt was prospering under his rule. The final years of Amasis, and thus Darius' reign, were uneventful. Upon Darius II's death, Persia went into somewhat of a civil war between Artaxerxes II and Cyrus (III), and Amasis rebelled.
