A Persian king whose entire reign lasted forty-five days before his half-brother killed him — the shortest flicker of power in the Achaemenid line, known mostly because Ctesias bothered to write it down.
About
Xerxes II was the only legitimate son of Artaxerxes I and Damaspia, and served as crown prince before inheriting the throne in 424 BC. His rule never extended beyond the Persian heartlands. Forty-five days in, his half-brother Sogdianus assassinated him. Sogdianus held power for six months before Darius II murdered him in turn. The figure survives as little more than a name in the writings of Ctesias.
