Xerxes I, also known as Xerxes the Great, was a prominent Persian monarch of the 5th century BC. His reign marked the zenith of the Persian Empire, which expanded its territories significantly during his rule. Xerxes is perhaps best known for his ambitious but ultimately unsuccessful invasion of Greece, a campaign that culminated in the famous Battle of Thermopylae and the Greek victory. Despite his defeat in this endeavor, Xerxes I had a profound impact on Persian history. He undertook impressive engineering feats, such as the construction of the Xerxes Canal, and left a lasting legacy in the ancient world. His reign stands as a pivotal moment in the history of the Persian Empire, showcasing both its power and its limitations on the world stage.
