Alexander and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Xerxes" by Jacob Abbott is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. It is part of a series titled "Makers of History," which focuses on significant historical figures and their influence on society. The book specifically delves into the life of Xerxes, the Persian monarch, exploring his lineage, key events leading to his reign, and the political dynamics of his time, particularly regarding Greece and Egypt. The opening portion introduces readers to Xerxes' backstory, starting with his mother, Atossa, and the lineage of Persian kings. It highlights the ambitions and complexities of rulers in ancient times, illustrating how personal desires for power often intersect with the greater narratives of history. The chapter details significant moments such as Cambyses's reckless reign and the consequences of his actions, before leading into discussions of Xerxes's rise to power, the political maneuvering for the throne, and early plans for military campaigns against Greece and Egypt. This exploration sets the stage for understanding the motivations behind his decisions and the historical significance of his reign. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
