There were a couple of major and some minor Darius-es, according to my “Greek and Persian Wars” CD set. The second Darius was not actually a lineal descendant of the first.

The Persians were a great power fairly late in the Old Testament period, but they made things happen there for a while. The Books of the Maccabbees go into a lot of interesting detail, and some of the events are also covered in Greek sources.
