		[themistocles.] Xerxes witnessed the battle from a lofty seat, which was erected for him on the shore of the mainland on one of the declivities of Mount Aegaleos, and thus beheld with his own eyes the defeat and dispersion of his mighty armament.
		Xerxes accordingly ordered the fleet to sail to the Hellespont, and there to guard the bridge till his arrival ; he left Mardonius the number of troops which he requested, and with the remainder set out on his march homewards.
		As soon as Xerxes was slain, the conspirators informed Artaxerxes that Dareius had been the murderer of his father, and persuaded the young prince to give instant orders for the execution of his brother.

	Great King of Persia Artakshassa I Artaxerxes
		The three kings that followed Xerxes on the throne--Artaxerxes I (465-425 BC), Xerxes II (425-424 BC), and Darius II Ochus (423-404 BC)--were all comparatively weak individuals and kings, and such successes as the empire enjoyed during their reigns were mainly the result of the efforts of subordinates or of the troubles faced by their adversaries.
		Xerxes II ruled only about 45 days and was killed in a drunken stupor by the son of one of his father's concubines.
		The main events of his long rule were the war with Sparta that ended with a peace favourable to the Persians; the revolt and loss to the empire of Egypt; the rebellion of Cyrus the Younger, brother of the king; and the uprising known as the revolt of the satraps.

	Xerxes II
		Xerxes ruled forty five days in the first months of 423 BC; Sogdianus ruled for six months and fifteen days.
		Our only source for the reign of Xerxes II and Sogdianus is the Greek author Ctesias of Cnidus, one of the most unreliable writers from Antiquity.
		If this is correct, the Achaemenid empire had for a brief time three kings: Xerxes in the Persian heartland, Darius in Hyrcania (where he was satrap), Media, Babylonia and Egypt (where satrap Arsames sided with him), and Sogdianus probably in Elam.
