Darius, Alexander's Dad?

No, I didn't see the gay movie, I learned it from an Iron Maden tune.

I learned it from an Iron Maden tune. That would be "Maiden" there, Einstein.

Darius, Alexander's Dad? Faulty old age memory!
Darius was defeated by Alexander, the son of Phillip of Macedon.

Alexander's father was Philip of Macedonia, if I remember correctly. Darius the Mede was king of Persia and Media, and I believe he was the one that began allowing the exiled Jews to return to Jerusalem after their capture and deportation by Nebudchadnezzar, or was that Cyrus?

PhillipII was Alexander's father [ or Zeus was, if you believe Alexander's fruit loop mother]. Darius referred to Alexander as 'my son' to term him a lesser king.
