<blockquote type="cite">
Professor Levine posted about Rabbi Alexander Hool's book "The
Challenge of Jewish History". I don't agree with all of his
conclusions, and I'm embarrassingly late completing a review of
the book, but he posits the Persian line continuing even after
Alexander whupped Darius at Gaugamela. And in fact, the Parthian
Empire, which started only about 70-80 years after the Alexandrian
conquest, claimed descent from the Achaemenids of the Persian
Empire. As did the later Sassanids. Names like Ardashir are just
Late Persian versions of the Old Persian Artaxerxes.
