Then we have a horrible tale of Darius' daughter getting murdered by her husbands closest 300 friends by being put in a sack and stabbed by set 300 friends
When Parysatis hears about this, she goes full mass murder
To be fair, I don't blame her

This episode is about Parysatis and Cyrus and not actually Darius
After a couple of murders it's the third brothers (and his sister/wife) turn
Of course more possible fratricide is on the horizon

The lesson for this episode is more or less, if you kill your brother to become king, what's stopping your brother (or your brothers wife/sister) to kill you to become king?
THE ASHROOM becomes a thing that exist

Sogdianus aka the reason you should kill your brothers, both as Xerxes 2 and as Sogdianus

Meanwhile Artexerxes' mother is bloodthirsty and wants revenge, gets it and almost starts a civil war
I love how salty @sarielsnowings.bsky.social is and their love for Megabyte
