  Palestine Under the Persians (539-332 BCE) - (The Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies - CAIS)©
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.

 THE BOOK OF DANIEL IN THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES (OLD TESTAMENT)
Daniel 11:31 (and elsewhere) refers to "the abominable thing that causes desolation." This appears to refer to the erection of a statue of Zeus in the Jerusalem temple in 167 BCE, and would indicate that the book was written later than that date.
Again, this fits well with the attempts that the Seleucid (the King of the North in Daniel 11:7) and Ptolemaic (the King of the South in Daniel 11:5) dynasties to achieve peace and stability through intermarriage.

This liberalism of the Persian rulers, nay, their special manifestations of favor toward the Jews,\1/ are conspicuous in Nehemiah's work (444 BCE), when he revived the pitiful congregation in Jerusalem through restoration of the city's fortifications (apparently dismantled by a hostile neighboring people) and through social and spiritual reorganization.
538-332 BCE), by protecting Judea from external aggression and internal tumults and by allowing the Jews autonomy in their religious and cultural development, was ideally suited to further the transition from kingdom to nation, from state to holy congregation.

Stern has noted that in the course of the 8th and 7th centuries BCE Greek pottery penetrated Judah, Edom, Moab and Ammon.  Greek mercenaries served the Saite Pharaohs and were employed by them in reclaiming Palestine-Syria as an Egyptian sphere of influence as Assyrian power and influence waned during this  period (cf.
Babylon was an inhabited city until the 1st century CE when It dwindled in size and importance due to economic neglect of the Greeks under Seleucus who created a new city named in his honor to be Babylonia's "Greek capital" and the governing classes and artisans moved to it, causing Babylon's decline.
Although Jeremiah in 587-582 BCE prophecized that God would use the Medes to destroy Babylon and set his people free, the author of the Primary History (562-560 BCE) probably was unaware of this prophecy.
