Years: 486BCE - 486BCE
Preparations for a third Persian expedition are delayed by an insurrection in Egypt, and Darius dies in 486 BCE before they are completed.
The thirty-six-year-old crown prince, a younger son of King Darius by Atossa, sister-widow of the late Cambyses and daughter of Cyrus the Great, inherits the throne in October or December of this year as Xerxes I (Persian: “Khshayarsha”), meaning "ruler over heroes."
