		Darius with only a small army ofPersians and Medes and some trustworthy generals overcame all difficulties, and in 520 and 519 all the rebellions were put down(Babylon rebelled twice, Susiana even three times), and the authority of Darius wasestablished throughout the empire.
		The details given by Herodotus (according to him Darius had reached the Volga !)are quite fantastical; and the account which Darius himself had given on a tablet, which was added to his great inscription in Behistun, is destroyed with the exception of a few words.

		According to Herodotus he rendered great service to Darius while he was campaigning in Scythia by persuading his fellow-despots not to destroy the bridge over the Danube by which the Persians must return.
		The success of his enterprise led to his being invited to Susa, where in the midst of every kind of honour he was virtually a prisoner of Darius, who had reason to dread his growing power in Ionia.
		He was allowed to leave Susa, but on his arrival at the coast found himself suspected by the satrap, and was ultimately driven to establish himself (Herodotus says as a pirate; more probably in charge of the Bosporus route) at Byzantium.

		Darius Hystaspis had to reconquer Babylon in 521 B. and again in 515 B.C. after the city rebelled against Persian rule.
		The author's garbled knowledge of history is also revealed by his mistaken notion (Dan.9:1) that "Darius the Mede" was the son of Ahasuerus (Xerxes).
		The Persian king Ahasuerus didn't live until almost half a century later, so even if "Darius the Mede" were a real person it would be impossible for him to be the son of a man not yet even born.

		Note that during the reign of Cyrus the temple would not be rebuilt completely, but rather only the foundation of the temple would be laid (Ezra 3:8_ 13), and thus only the beginning of rebuilding it would be accomplished during his reign as foretold.
		The temple was not completely finished until the sixth year of the reign of Darius I Hystaspis (Ezra 6:15_18).

		Darius is introduced as the leading character of the next narrative which is properly separated from the last and it is not meant that he "took the kingdom" the same night Belshazzar died.

	SUPPLEMENT TO NOTES ON THE BOOK OF DANIEL
		Cyrus and Cyaxares, or, as he is called in Scripture, Darius the Mede, in a short time established the government on an immovable basis.
		Outside the book of Daniel there is no mention of Darius the Mede by name, though there are good reasons for identifying him with Gubaru, or Ugbaru, the governor of Gutium, who is said in the Nabunaid-Cyrus Chronicle to have been appointed by Cyrus as governor of Babylon after its capture from the Chaldeans.
		(f) That Darius is said to have had 120 satraps under him does not conflict with this; for the Persian word "satrap" is indefinite, just like the English word "governor." Besides, Gubaru is said to have appointed pihatus under himself.

	The Inerrantist Way of Misrepresenting "Critics"
		Hatcher cited, for example, H. Rowley's Darius the Mede and the Four World Empires in the Book of Daniel, but just a cursory examination of this book will reveal that Rowley rejects the fundamentalist view that Daniel was written by a 6th-century B. prophet and accepts a 2nd-century authorship.
		As we have seen, the prophets had foretold that Babylon would fall to the Medes and so there had to be a Median kingdom between the Babylonia and the Persian and there had to be a Median king to succeed Belshazzar.
		But there was a Darius, Darius Hystaspis, who captured Babylon after the death of Cambyses in 520 B. and the tradition of this capture and the name of the conqueror, with which may have been associated some memory of his achievements, may have been attached to the apocryphal figure.
