Dara II or Darab II was the last king of the mythological Kayanian dynasty, ruling between 14 and 16 years. He is generally identified with Darius III (r. 336–330 BC), the last king of the Achaemenid Empire. In Middle Persian literature and Islamic chronicles, he is generally known as "Dara", while he is known as "Darab" in the New Persian proses Darab-nama and Iskandar-nama. He was the son and successor of Dara I. Dara II is credited with the foundation of the city of Dara in Mesopotamia, and in some cases the city of Darabgerd in Fars.

  • Dara II or Darab II was the last king of the mythological Kayanian dynasty, ruling between 14 and 16 years. He is generally identified with Darius III (r. 336–330 BC), the last king of the Achaemenid Empire. In Middle Persian literature and Islamic chronicles, he is generally known as "Dara", while he is known as "Darab" in the New Persian proses Darab-nama and Iskandar-nama. He was the son and successor of Dara I. According to early traditions, Dara II's mother was Mahnahid, daughter of Hazarmard, while later traditions refer her to as Thamrusia, a Greek woman who was the daughter of Fastabiqun and former wife of the king of Oman. Dara II was the half-brother of Iskandar (Alexander the Great), who, after refusing to pay tribute, rebelled. During the rebellion, Dara II was assassinated by his ministers Mahyar and Janushyar (Bessus and Nabarzanes). He had three sons, Ashk, Ardashir, and a third, who name is uncertain. The Sasanian monarchs of Iran (224–651) invented a descent that traced them back to Dara II through a son named Sasan (called "the elder"). The House of Ispahbudhan, one of the Seven Great Houses of Iran, likewise claimed descent from Dara II through their Arsacid lineage. The Safavid ruler Ismail I (r. 1501–1524) claimed to be the personification of the divine light of investiture (farr) that had radiated in Dara II. Dara II is credited with the foundation of the city of Dara in Mesopotamia, and in some cases the city of Darabgerd in Fars. (en)
