The insinuation that I didn't know that is almost too much to bear... I think I shall go drown myself in a bowl of green jello.
Of course Artaxerxes is a name of Persian origin, used by various kings of that land- that's how it ended up in the Bible, after all. Just like Ar-Pharazôn was the name of a Númenorean king, and so ended up in the Akallabêth...
You should be on my side! Who is this profane wizard to be using a noble name of Ancient Persia?
(Not that I have any particular liking for the Parson.. I'd be more than happy to vote off the Parsley.. er, Parson- but tomorrow.)
