King Xerxes: What He Did to His Own Daughter Was Worse Than Death

Описание: In 479 BC, King Xerxes committed an act against his own house that was truly worse than death. What began as a forbidden desire for his own daughter-in-law turned a royal gift into a warrant for execution, shattering the sanctity of the Persian court.

Queen Amestris wove a robe of impossible intricacy for her husband, but it became the fuse for a brutal family tragedy. When Xerxes made a reckless promise to Artaynte, her demand for the Queen's robe triggered a terrifying sequence of betrayal. The consequences were not paid by the King, but by an innocent woman—the wife of Masistes—who suffered a horrifying mutilation that history tried to erase.

This untold story exposes the hidden cruelty of the Achaemenid Empire, where a brother’s loyalty was met with total massacre to protect the throne. Discover the shocking truth behind the fall of Masistes and the dark secrets locked within the harem walls.
