In the year 465 BC, Artabanus assassinated Xerxes with the help of a eunuch named Aspamitres. Artabanus was the commander of the royal bodyguard and the most powerful official in the Persian court.
The rock-cut tomb at Naqsh-e Rustam, copying that of Darius the First, is usually assumed to be that of Xerxes. Throughout time, there have been many cultural depictions of King Xerxes. Probably the most well-known appears in the movie “ One Night with the King ” where Xerxes is portrayed by Luke Goss. Xerxes is also featured in the 2014 film entitled “ 300: Rise of an Empire ”. This movie is based on two battles - the Battle of Artemisium and the Battle of Salamis
