Xerxes I was a king of the Achaemenid Empire, who ruled ancient Persia between 486 BC and 465 BC. He is known primarily for his campaign against Greece, particularly his attempt to defeat Sparta, one of the prominent Greek city-states. During his reign, the famous Battle of Thermopylae took place, where the Greek fleet won a decisive victory over the Persians, preventing the expansion of the Persian Empire in Greece. Xerxes is remembered as one of the most prominent rulers of the vast Persian Empire, whose attempted domination over Greece was a significant turning point in ancient history.
