Darius the Mede
The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008
Darius the Mede in the Bible, a king of the Medes who succeeded to the throne of Babylonia after Belshazzar. Otherwise unknown outside biblical tradition, it is likely that this Darius has been confused with Cyrus the Persian, who succeeded Belshazzar and decreed (539 BC) the return of exiled Jews. He is also mentioned by Herodotus and Josephus.
