His name arrives with the distant weight of an empire and the echo of an army remembered by historians. He remains a commanding figure in the imagination, even where the record offers no glimpse of his face.

Xerxes appears here as a figure recalled through Herodotus’s account of his army, rather than through a personal story of his own. The book provides no further arc or personal details for him.
Description
The text gives no physical description of Xerxes, so his appearance cannot be established from this source. No details of his height, build, coloring, hair, eyes, face, or clothing are specified.
