Send me a few of those sources, please. I’ve been trying to find the link between Xerxes and Ahasuerus for a while - and there is some doubt among historians (some of whom say that Xerxes came later). Thanks.
I just did a google on it “Xerxes Ahasuerus”. There many sources that make this claim.
I find this point in history fascinating because of the cool cross over between Greek history and the Bible; along with the specifics regarding the battle of Thermopylae, Molon Labe, and recent history such as in Texas and the current use regarding guns.
