Abstract	:	The ideological systems of the Persian Great King and the Egyptian Pharaoh were inherently in conflict. The Egyptian Pharaoh was responsible for defeating foreign enemies, including Achaemenid Persians, while the Persian Great King was the ruler of a universal empire. The Persian king, Darius I, had to embody both roles in order to maintain his rule over Egypt. By examining three Egyptian artifacts that depict Darius and originate from different socio-political spheres, I assess the different ways he was portrayed and consider the ways these images navigated the inherent ideological conflict between the Great King and the Egyptian Pharaoh. This analysis reveals a pattern in which Darius was presented to an Egyptian audience as an Egyptian Pharaoh that has taken on visual attributes of the Achaemenid Great King, but to a Persian audience, Darius was presented as an entirely Achaemenid conqueror.
