    more footnotes date January 2011 Stateira died about 400 BC was the wife of king Artaxerxes II of Persia . Biography Stateira was the daughter of the Persian nobleman Hydarnes . She married Artaxerxes II, the oldest son of Darius II of Persia and his wife Parysatis . Probably Darius II wanted to establish good relations with an important noble family, from which Stateira was descended, because her brother Terituchmes married Amestris, a daughter of Darius II. But Terituchmes loved one of his half sisters more than his royal bride and tried to start a rebellion. Therefore Parysatis had all the children of Hydarnes killed and only spared the life of Stateira at the request of her husband. ref Ctesias , Persica 55 56 in an excerpt from Photius I of Constantinople . ref Artaxerxes II took over the Persian throne in 404 BC after the death of his father. Stateira seems to have been his only legal wife despite his numerous concubines. She bore a son, Artaxerxes III of Persia Artaxerxes , the heir to the throne, and probably other children. The queen mother Parysatis and Stateira tried to be the key political influence on the king so the both women became bitter rivals. Stateira was very popular with the people, allegedly because she left the curtains open when she drove in her carriage and because she talked to the ordinary people. She supported her husband in his quarrel with his brother ... favourite son Cyrus in his attempt to win the Persian throne from his brother Artaxerxes II.

  1. Artabanus of Persia

    No footnotes date May 2009 Artabanus the Hyrcanian was a Persia n political figure during the Achaemenid Dynasty who was reportedly Regent of Persia for a few months 465 BC 464 BC . Artabanus probably originated from the province of Hyrcania and reportedly served as the chief official of Xerxes I . He is considered to have served either as his vizier or as his head bodyguard . According to Aristotle , Artabanus was responsible for the death of Crown Prince Darius. He then became afraid that Xerxes would seek revenge and proceeded to assassination assassinate the King. On the other hand Junianus Justinus reported that Artabanus had personal ambitions for the throne. He first secretly murdered Xerxes and then accused Darius of parricide , resulting in his execution. The order of events remain uncertain but Xerxes and Darius certainly left the throne vacant. Artabanus course of action is also uncertain. Some accounts have him usurping the throne for himself. Others consider him to have named young Artaxerxes I as King and to have acted as Regent and power behind the throne . This state of affairs would not last more than a few months. Artaxerxes reportedly slew him with his own sword, either in battle or by surprise. Artabanus is occasionally listed among the Kings of the Achaemenid dynasty though he was not related to them. As Artaxerxes is believed to be the inspiration for King Ahasuerus in the story of Purim , Artabanus may have been the inspiration for Haman in the same story.
