	Darius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Another explanation, plausible enough, is that Darius is another name for Cyaxares II, the son of Astyages, who according to the Greek writer Xenophon was Cyrus’ uncle and father-in-law, and whom Cyrus might have retained temporarily as a figurehead king to please the Medes.
		Darius was evidently recognised as a ruler in Babylon by courtesy of Cyrus, while it was Cyrus who actually held the power (see Is 45:1).
		Darius the Persian (Neh 12:22) is probably Darius II (424/23–405/04 b.c.), the son and successor of Artaxerxes I. The various lists of ecclesiastical officers given in the book of Nehemiah seem to have their terminal point in his reign.

		Neither Xerxes II nor Secydianus occurs in the dates of the numerous Babylonian tablets from Nippur; here the reign of Darius II follows immediately after that of Artaxerxes I. Artaxerxes I was king of Persia from 464 BC to 424 BC.

		Darius 2 utilizes some very nicely detailed graphics, with some well animated sprites with a good range of colours, some of the giant bosses look particularly impressive, though your actual ships appear fairly rudimentary and bland, and some back grounds look a little rough around the edges at times.
