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).

No, Darius and Cyrus were not the same person; they were two distinct rulers of the ancient Persian Empire. Cyrus the Great founded the empire in the 6th century BCE and is known for his policy of tolerance and respect for the cultures of the lands he conquered. Darius I, also known as Darius the Great, came to power later, around 522 BCE, and is recognized for his administrative reforms and expansion of the empire.
