Darius as a Modern CEO

Darius' approach to handling revolts and uprisings foreshadows his future leadership abilities. Unlike traditional Persian leaders known as warriors, Darius is likened to a 'shopkeeper' due to his focus on structured governance and peacekeeping. This description, though seemingly derogatory in ancient times, reflects a modern perspective where business acumen and commerce are highly respected. Darius is compared to a modern CEO, running a massive 'shop' akin to a corporation like Walmart.
