Dynasty 31 (Second Persian Period: Artaxerxes III, Arses, Darius III)
343 BCE–332 BCE · Late-Period
A grouped entry for the brief Second Persian Period (Dynasty 31): Artaxerxes III, who reconquered Egypt in 343 BCE, followed by Arses and Darius III, ruling Egypt as Achaemenid great kings. The period ended when Alexander the Great took Egypt from Persia in 332 BCE, the hinge into the Greek and Ptolemaic age. These are Persian kings whose primary record belongs to the Persian and Greek sphere; Alexander and the Macedonian Argead kings are treated within the Greek tradition rather than rostered here.
