Darius the Great

                In class we learned and read a story about ancient Greece. Then, we each got assigned a specific subject to research find information on. I was assigned to Darius the Great. I found out that he was born in 521 BC and died in Oct-485 BC. His father was Hystaspes and I never found out who his mother was. He lived a family of royalty, strongly believing in in the religion of Zoroaster. His job for the empire was to gain strong natural frontiers for the empire and keep down the barbarous tribes on its borders. Throughout his lifetime he ended up fighting against the Sacae and other Turanian tribes. As you can see he was a very helpful man who had a great impact to his empire.
