What King Xerxes Did to His Daughters Was Worse Than Death

Описание: What King Xerxes Did to His Household Was Far More Terrifying Than History Reveals

They called him a god-king.
Why Did the Women of Xerxes's Palace Live in Golden Cages?
They called it divine protection.
But what the Persian Empire did inside the royal household was something far worse than tradition.
In 470 BCE, a woman was dragged into the courtyard of Persepolis - the most magnificent palace on Earth. Her crime? Refusing the king's advances. What Queen Amestris ordered next wasn't justice. It was systematic mutilation designed to send a message that would echo through the empire for generations.
A household where saying "no" meant death. Where the king's own niece became his mistress. Where a woman's virtue became her death sentence. Where brothers murdered brothers, and sons were manipulated into fratricide.
From Greek historical accounts to archaeological evidence at Persepolis, from palace protocols that stripped humanity to royal customs that turned family into currency, this was a system that destroyed countless lives between 486 and 465 BCE.
The official Persian records stayed silent. But the walls of Persepolis remember everything.
