The book of Esther in the Old Testament depicts the plight of King Xerxes from the vantage point of his royal court. The King James renders his name as King Ahasuerus, same King.

It mentions his political determination to rally support from his provinces at a great party he through for 180 days, for the war your link discusses.

There is some good history in the Bible.
