Xerxes I
Xerxes I was the fifth king of the Achaemenid Empire, reigning from 486 to 465 BC. He is best known for his massive invasion of Greece, which included the famous battles of Thermopylae and Salamis during the Greco-Persian Wars. Xerxes is often depicted as a powerful but flawed ruler, whose reign was marked by ambitious construction projects, including the expansion of Persepolis. His legacy is a mixture of military might and his eventual defeat, which marked a turning point in the conflict between the Persian Empire and the Greek city-states.
