[[Artaxerxes]] I of Persia (اردشیر یکم‎‎), the son of Xerxes I, has been the object of a number of literary and dramatic works over the years.

His name is written [[Artaxerxes]] in English and [[Dutch]], ''[[Artaxerce]]'' in French and ''[[Artaserse]]'' in Italian.

Among the dramatic works about Artaxerxes are:

=''[[Artaxerce]]'' by Claude Boyer=

''[[Artaxerce]]'' is a French tragedy in 5 acts by Claude Boyer (1618-1698)[http://bibdramatique.paris-sorbonne.fr/boyer_artaxerce]

Published with a commentary by the author in 1683.

=''[[Artaserse]]'' by Pietro Metastasio and Leonardo Vinci=

''[[Artaserse]]'' is an Italian opera by Pietro Metastasio and Leonardo Vinci, first performed in 1730.

=''[[Artaxerce]]'' by Antoine Marin Lemierre=

''[[Artaxerce]]'' is a tragedy by Antoine Marin Lemierre (1733–1793)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine-Marin_Lemierre].

==The original text==

Modelled on the opera ''[[Artaserse]]'' (1730) by Pietro Metastasio and Leonardo Vinci. It was first produced in Paris in 1766. Published under the name Antoine-Marin Le Mierre, in Paris by Valat-la-Chapelle, 1773.

==Translations and adaptations==

Translated into [[Dutch]] as ''[[Artaxerxes, of De Bezoedelde Onschuld]]'' ("Artaxerxes, or the sullied innocence") by Nicolaas Willem Op den Hooff and published in Amsterdam in 1767 by Izaak Duim. (It appears that there are also versions of Duim's publication without an atttribution, and the text is then attributed to Antoine Marin Lemierre (1733–1793)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine-Marin_Lemierre] by the particular library holding the text.)

This is possibly the text performed in South Africa as ''[[Artaxerxes, of De Vader Rechter over zijn Zoon]]'' ("Artaxerxes, or the father judge of the son").

=''[[Artaxerxes, of De Vader Rechter over zijn Zoon]]'' by an unknown author=

The title ''[[Artaxerxes, of De Vader Rechter over zijn Zoon]]'' is found in relation to a [[Dutch]] performance in Cape Town and was billed as a tragedy in 3 acts. It would appear from Bosman (1980) to have been a version of Nicolaas Willem Op den Hooff's [[Dutch]] play ''[[Artaxerxes, of De Bezoedelde Onschuld]]'' ("Artaxerxes, or the sullied innocence").

== Performance history in South Africa ==

1868: Performed by [[Door Yver Bloeit de Kunst]] in the [[Oddfellows Hall]], Cape Town on 16 and 23 July, with ''[[De Helleveeg]]'' (Loosjes). Set design and construction by [[C.J.M. Smith]].

1868: Performed by [[Door Yver Bloeit de Kunst]] in Stellenbosch on 9 and 10 September, under the protection of the magistrate [[G. Van Rheede van Oudtshoorn]], with ''[[Het Zal Laat Worden]]'' (Meyer).

=''[[Artaxerce]]'' by Etienne-Joseph-Bernard Delrieu=

''[[Artaxerce]]'' tragédie en V actes Etienne-Joseph-Bernard Delrieu, (ca. 1760-1836). Représentée, pour la première fois, à Paris, sur le Théâtre français, par les comédiens ordinaires de S. M. l'empereur et roi, le 30 avril 1808, et à St.-Cloud, devant Leurs Majestés impériales et royales, le 18 août de la même année. Published Paris : chez Giguet et Michaud, 1808.
