Persian King Darius III (c. 380 – July 330 BC), originally named Artashata
(सर्वार्थसिद्धी) and called Codomannus by the Greeks, was the last king of the Achaemenid Empire(अजमीढ़ साम्राज्य) of Persia from 336 BC to 330 BC. Artashata adopted Darius as a dynastic name.
After Artaxerxes III of Persia and all of his sons were killed by the vizier(प्रधानमंत्री) Bagoas, the vizier installed a cousin of Artaxerxes III, Artashata, on the Persian throne as Darius III. When Darius tried to act independently of the vizier, Bagoas tried to poison him, but Darius was warned and forced Bagoas to drink the poison himself.
