Fall of the Achaemenid Empire empire(अजमीढ़ साम्राज्य का पतन)
According to Plutarch, Artaxerxes' successor Artaxerxes III (358 – 338 BC) came to the throne by bloody means, ensuring his place upon the throne by the assassination(हत्या) of eight of his half-brothers.
His unexpected rise to the throne came in 338 BC as a result of the murder of his father and most of his family by Bagoas, the powerful Vizier(प्रधानमंत्री) of Persia who had recently fallen in Artaxerxes' disfavor.
