Xerxes I (c. 518 – August 465 BC), commonly known as Xerxes the Great, was a Persian ruler who served as the fourth King of Kings of the Achaemenid Empire, reigning from 486 BC until his assassination in 465 BC. He was the son of Darius the Great and Atossa, a daughter of Cyrus the Great. He is a leader in Civilization VII.

This is one of Xerxes's two alternate personas, the other being Xerxes, King of Kings.

Intro

Xerxes inherited the Achaemenid Empire at a time of crisis and guided it to greatness. After a series of military campaigns at home and abroad, Xerxes shifted his attention from expansion to enrichment. He devoted his treasury to maintaining roads, establishing an extensive communication system, and completing a palace at Persepolis. Monuments and literature alike speak to the fear he provoked in his enemies and the luxuries he bestowed on his people.
