The correct answer is "Xerxes". Following the death of Darius I in 486 B.C., his eldest son, Xerxes, became the King of Persia. Xerxes I was a powerful ruler who sought to expand the Persian Empire. He is best known for his invasion of Greece, which ended in defeat at the Battle of Plataea. Xerxes' reign lasted until his assassination in 465 B.C.
