4 The Rise of the Persian Empire
The Persian Empire was built up by a series of three kings: Cyrus, Cambyses, and Darius I

5 Persepolis Persepolis Darius I began the elaborate citadel; his son, Xerxes, continued its construction; and his grandson, Artaxerxes I, completed the magnificent city of Persepolis, which was a confluence of styles--Median, Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and Greek.

6 Imperial Organization and Ideology
From Darius on, the empire was divided into twenty provinces; a satrap who was related or connected to the royal court administered each province Provinces were required to pay annual tribute

7 The Persian kings developed a style of kingship in which they were powerful masters of all their subjects and nobles They held vast amounts of land. Kings acted as lawgivers, but allowed each people of the empire to live in accordance with its own traditions

8 Religion of Persia The major religion of the Persian Empire was Zoroastrianism. The origins of this religion are unclear Zoroastrianism shows the existence of a dualistic universe in which the god of good, Ahuramazda, was locked in an epic struggle against the god of evil, Angra Mainyu Zoroastrianism is one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions. It was founded by the Prophet Zoroaster (or Zarathustra) in ancient Iran approximately 3500 years ago. For 1000 years Zoroastrianism was one of the most powerful religions in the world. It was the official religion of Persia (Iran) from 600 BCE to 650 CE. It is now one of the world's smallest religions. In 2006 the New York Times reported that there were probably less than 190,000 followers worldwide at that time. Zoroastrians believe there is one God called Ahura Mazda (Wise Lord) and He created the world. Zoroastrians are not fire-worshippers, as some Westerners wrongly believe. Zoroastrians believe that the elements are pure and that fire represents God's light or wisdom. Ahura Mazda revealed the truth through the Prophet, Zoroaster. Zoroastrians traditionally pray several times a day. Zoroastrians worship communally in a Fire Temple or Agiary. The Zoroastrian book of Holy Scriptures is called The Avesta.

9 The Struggle of Persia and Greece, 526–323 b.c.e
In 499 b.c.e. the Greek in the Middle East, staged a five-year revolt against Persian rule This led to the Persian Wars—two Persian attacks on Greece. In the First Persian War, the generals of Darius I captured Eretria and attacked Athens (490 b.c.e.) The attack on Athens was foiled when Athenian forces defeated the Persians at Marathon.
