Xerxes was the King of Persia from 485 to 465 BC. Many scholars identify Xerxes with the Biblical Ahasuerus, who appears prominently in the book of Esther. Xerxes led the Persians in the Medic Wars.
Xerxes appeared in the 2007 film 300 as the principle antagonist. The character is drawn principally from Frank Miller's ultra-stylised graphic novel, upon which the film is based, and bears little resemblance to the historical king.
