R' Micha, I am confused by your response to R'nTK. If her dates and representation of Daas Mikra is correct,
 (" Ester occurred in 482 B.C.E., 478 B.C.E., and 473 B.C.E., long  after Cyrus permitted
Jews to return to Eretz Yisrael (539  B.C.E.) and the Beit Hamikdash
was completed (515 B.C.E.).  (This follows the approach of the Daat Mikra")
then your response ("Esther's son is usually taken to be Darius II, the king who permitted
the completion of the BHMQ after the construction began under Cyrus
was interrupted.
But if what "sounds right" is against the Daas Miqra, then perhaps it
is worth trying to rethink one's mental image...
Or perhaps, it just requires rethinking the return to Israel.") does not jibe with the Daas Mikra. Clearly Darius II could not yet exist in 515 BCE according to the Daas Mikra chronology.

What exactly are you saying?
