Darius I of Persia (548-486 BC), commonly known by the name of Darius the Great, was one of the greatest kings of Persia (now Iran) and one of the great kings who ruled Persia from the Achaemenid Empire, also known as the Persian Empire (c. 550-330 BC).

It ascended the throne in 521 BC, after killing the previous king, the magician, who considered Gaumata a usurper. Dario version of these events may still read the inscription on monumental Bisotun near the city of Kermanshah in western Iran.

Darius ruled the Empire Persian in its heyday, when it stretched from the Indus Valley (now Pakistan) in Central America and South Asia to Egypt and parts of Europe. He has faced numerous rebellions throughout the empire as a revolt by the Babylonians. He returned to expand the empire by conquest Scythia, Thrace and Macedonia.

The Ionian Revolt (499-498) – and riots in Aeolis, Carie, Cyrus, and Doris – Rose against the Empire Persian.

Darius sent two punitive expeditions against the Athenians to punish them for supporting the Ionian revolt, but these were unusually rejected: the first from the sinking ship of the Persian fleet in a storm off Mount Athos (492) and the second end of a military disaster at the battle Marathon (490).

The Athenians also the destruction had occurred in Persia during the Ionian Revolt – for example, that destroyed the political capital of Sardis western province of the Persian Empire.

As the Greek historian Herodotus, Darius has vowed never to forget the destruction of Sardis. In his Histories (Book 5: 105), Herodotus relates the following: "And he [Darius] commanded one of his servants to repeat the words:" Lord, remember the Athenians three times when he sat down. "

Dario achievements have been recognized in human form he treated the people he conquered.

Darius reformed the administration and finances of the Persian Empire. He divided his empire into 20 administrative provinces, called "satraps" each governed by a satrap (governor). He saw his empire on recipes with an eagle eye, for example, each satrap was a secretary, given the actions of satrap and reported directly to Darius.

It imposed a new tax year and opened a new currency standard. He encouraged trade – For example by building roads and canals, building a powerful navy, and by sending expeditions of exploration.

Darius was known as a great legislator, who was tough but fair, and uniform laws throughout the Persian Empire. Even foreigners acknowledged his great qualities as a legislator. In the Bible (Daniel 6:8), is written: "the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not change." Dario created a coding system laws of Egypt.

Darius the Great who was a follower of the Zoroastrian god, Ahura Mazda, and under Darius Zoroastrianism became the state religion. But in religious matters was Darius, unusual for its time, known for its religious tolerance.

Darius the Great was a great architect. He built a beautiful capital Susa new (which is close to Shuster, in present Iran). He also built the terrace and large Palace of the beautiful city of Persepolis (518-516), the ceremonial capital of the Persian empire, whose ruins still astonish the modern visitor (in 1979 UNESCO declared the citadel of Persepolis a World Heritage Humanity) ..
