| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Persia |
 | | The invasion of Chosroes II was the severest blow that the Byzantine power in Asia had to endure, previous to the rise of Islam. | | | He was a brave man, and led sixty thousand of the best troops in the world, but his contempt of the enemy, and the greed of gold for which he was notorious, brought him into a terrible catastrophe. | | | Probably this feeling of suspicion was increased by the letter which Constantine wrote to Sapor (Theod., "H.E.", I, xxv), asking protection for the Christians resident in Persia. |

| | Ethics of Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian Empires by Sanderson Beck |
| | In 465 BC Xerxes was assassinated in the royal bedchamber by a conspiracy led by Artabanus, Megabyzus, and the eunuch chamberlain Aspamitres. | | | Business went on without much change under Persian rule, but the Jews were allowed to return to their homeland under generous conditions that allowed them to take the precious utensils that had been stolen from their temple a half century before by the Babylonians. | | | Jews complained of the Persian taxes, but Nehemiah, who as governor was supported by the imperial bureaucracy, blamed the rich Jews and said he loaned money without interest. |

| | Greeks versus Persians |
| | Moreover, fear of possible Persian reprisals led many of these cities to unite behind Athens in a defensive alliance, the Delian League (478-454 BC), to which every member contributed money or ships to be disposed by Athens in the common interest. | | | They tried to convince the Spartans that in the long run the Athenians were every bit as dangerous to Greek freedom and prosperity as the Persians had once been. | | | By 494 BC the Ionian city of Miletus, which had rebelled against Persian rule was subdued and its population deported. |

| | Cyrus also unexpectedly told the Jews that they could return to their homeland. | | | The Second Temple was completed on the very site of the first Temple in 516 B.C. Though Cyrus allowed the Jews freedom to practice their religion, he would not permit them to reestablish the monarchy. | | | The Persians resisted any Jewish efforts to restore the monarchy, but allowed them a high degree of autonomy under the High Priest, whose power was partially checked by the Sanhedrin, the Jewish Court, and the Popular Assemblies. |
