Question

Darius did, however, ask who the Athenians

were, and after receiving the answer, he called
for his bow. This he took and, placing an arrow
on it, shot it into the sky, praying as he sent
it aloft, “O Zeus, grant me vengeance on the
Athenians."
Then he ordered one of his servants to say
to him three times whenever dinner was set
before him, “Master, remember the Athenians."

What does this description of Darius I reveal about him?

Answer 1

This description tells us that he was vengeful and resentful.

Step-by-step explanation:

Darius ruled the greatest empire in the world at the time and believed that no one could and no one should oppose him.

But when Athenians started supporting Ionian rebellion he couldn't believe that there is someone who will directly oppose him like that.

That is why he wanted to be remembered about what the Athenians did, so that he could take his vengeance on them.
