Dynasty 27 later Persian kings (Xerxes I, Artaxerxes I, Darius II, Artaxerxes II)
486 BCE–404 BCE · Late-Period
A grouped entry for the later Achaemenid great kings who held Egypt as the Persian Dynasty 27 (Xerxes I, Artaxerxes I, Darius II, and into the reign of Artaxerxes II), through repeated Egyptian revolts, until Egypt regained its independence around 404 BCE. They are historical Persian rulers included as pharaohs of Egypt; their primary lives belong to the Persian and Greek sphere. The Aramaic papyri of the Jewish garrison at Elephantine date from this period.
