The story of the founder of the Achaemenid, or the First Persian Empire, Darius I (c. 550-486 BC), is one of the best documented from that ancient time primarily because of a trilingual monumental relief on Mount Behistun which was written between the time of his coronation and his death. By drawing upon this record, and other primary sources, master storyteller Jacob Abbott takes the reader on a whirlwind account of a dramatic series of events in ancient Middle Eastern history. Filled with background tales of personal intrigue and shocking cruelty, the story follows Darius's ascension after the end of his grandfather Cambyses's reign, the difficult suppression of a series of internal revolts, the move of his seat of government to the world-famous capital city of Susa, and the expansion of his empire's borders from the Caucasus to the Indus. It also tells the story of his disastrous attempt to conquer the Scythians and the first and second attempts to conquer the Athenians-the first of which ended with the loss of his fleet, and the second in the decisive defeat of his army at the Battle of Marathon. Finally, the story of Darius ends during the revolt of his Egyptian provinces, and in the midst of preparations for a third assault on the Athenians. "The greatness of Darius was the greatness of position and not of character. He was the absolute sovereign of nearly half the world, and, as such, was held up very conspicuously to the attention of mankind, who gaze with a strong feeling of admiration and awe upon these vast elevations of power, as they do upon the summits of mountains, simply because they are high."

In the pages of ancient history, one name stands tall among the Persian rulers, revered for his wisdom, vision, and legacy of grandeur-Darius the Great. Born into humble beginnings around 550 BCE, Darius ascended to become one of history's most influential leaders, shaping an empire that echoed his greatness for centuries to come. Darius' journey to power was a testament to his intellect and resilience. Rising from a noble background rather than royal lineage, he navigated a world of political intrigue to claim the Persian throne. His ascent reflected not only ambition but also strategic brilliance and a deep understanding of governance. Once crowned, Darius didn't merely reign; he engineered an empire that spanned continents. His reign marked an era of stability and progress, characterized by administrative innovations and infrastructural marvels. Darius introduced a system of satrapies-provinces governed by appointed officials-to ensure effective governance across diverse territories, fostering cultural exchange and economic growth. What set Darius apart was his commitment to inclusivity. He respected the customs and religions of the lands he conquered, promoting tolerance and unity within his vast empire. His famous Behistun Inscription stands as a testament to this, carved in multiple languages to communicate his respect for diversity and justice. Beyond his conquests, Darius left an indelible mark through his ambitious construction projects. The construction of the Royal Road, a monumental highway spanning over 1,500 miles, facilitated communication and trade within the empire, showcasing his commitment to progress and connectivity. Darius the Great wasn't merely a ruler; he was a visionary leader who left a legacy of unity, progress, and cultural exchange. His reign exemplifies the heights that determination, intelligence, and empathy can reach, inspiring generations to embrace diversity and pursue greatness through inclusivity and innovation. The story of Darius resonates through the ages, reminding us that leadership isn't just about power; it's about leaving a lasting impact that transcends borders and time itself.
