There is a Biblical Darius, "Darius the Mede", who assumes the throne of Belshazzar after Daniel deciphers the predictions of Belshazzar's demise. (Book of Daniel) * This is one source for the English idiom "reading the handwriting on the wall", which means seeing a future consequence. Three kings of Persia were named Darius, the first being "Darius the Great" (549-486 BC) and the other two later successors, Darius II (aka Ochus, king 423-404 BC) and Darius III (aka Artashata 380-330 BC).
