Artaxerxes I

Japanese: アルタクセルクセス[1世](英語表記)Artaxerxēs I
Artaxerxes I
King of the Achaemenid Empire. Reigned 465-424 BC. Known as Macrocheir (Long Hand). Succeeded his father, Xerxes I, who was assassinated, and defeated the intrigues within the palace. An Egyptian revolt broke out early in his reign, but it was prolonged because Athens supported Egypt. However, Sparta provided funds to keep Athens in check, and put down the revolt in 454 BC. He adjusted relations with Athens with the Treaty of Callias in 449 BC. He is known for treating the exiled Themistocles well as a friend of the king.
