Xerxes was the son of King Darius, who during an attempt to invade and conquer Greece, was killed by Themistocles of Athens by a well-placed arrow. He demands that all those beneath him bow down to him. Xerxes is depicted as being extremely egocentric, and proclaims himself a "God-king". Xerxes eventually won this battle by having superior numbers in his army and due to the Greek traitor Ephialtes, who aided him by showing him and the Persians the existence of a small pass in the Hot Gates that allowed Xerxes to attack them from behind. He is based on the real king Xerxes I of Persia who sent his army to fight against 300 Spartans in the battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC. Xerxes I of Persia, also simply known as Xerxes, is the main antagonist of the 300 duology, serving as the main antagonist of the 2007 film 300, and the central antagonist of its 2014 sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire, both based on the graphic novel 300 by Frank Miller. Yours is a fascinating tribe, even now you're defiant, in the face of annihilation, in the presence of a god.
