They declared their independence from the Seleucids in 238 BC, but their attempts to unify Iran were thwarted until after Mithridates I advent to the Parthian throne in about 170 BC.

It was preceded by what is known as the Proto-Elamite period, which began around 3200 BC when Susa (later capital of the Elamites) began to be influenced by the cultures of the Iranian plateau to the east.
Among the nations that benefited from the decline of the Assyrians were the Persians, whose presence around Lake Urmia to the north of Elam is attested from the 9th centuryBC in Assyrian texts.
The rise of the Achaemenids in the 6th centuryBC brought an end to the existence of Elam as an independent political power "but not as a cultural entity" (Encyclopedia Iranica, Columbia University).

Then comes the Wisdom of Solomon, probably written in the 2nd centuryBC where Solomon is portrayed as an astronomer.
The Gnostic Apocalypse of Adam, which may date to the 1st or 2nd century, refers to a legend in which Solomon sends out an army of demons to seek a virgin who had fled from him, perhaps the earliest surviving mention of the later common tale that Solomon controlled demons and made them his slaves.
