Palestine Under the Persians (539-332 BCE) - (The Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies - CAIS)© (3563 words) |
 | After the uprisings and rebellion in the aftermath of the Cambyses (525 BCE) death, the rise of Darius the Great to the throne may have instilled hopes in some segments of the population of a Davidic monarch governing the returning exiles in Judah. |
| Because Xerxes' campaign against Greece in 480/79 BCE ended in disaster, it is sometimes assumed that it initiated a period of decline in Persia. |
| It is evident that the returning exiles in the 460s stimulated a slow revival in the region for the remainder of the fifth century BCE that reached its zenith in the fourth. |
