(a noble jewish youth of Jerusalem, he is taken into captivity by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and serves the king and his successors with loyalty and ability until the time of the Persian conqueror Cyrus, all the while remaining true to the God of Israel)
(most scholars see the book as a cryptic allusion to the reign of the Greek king Antiochus IV Epiphanes (175–164 BCE), and the broad consensus is that daniel never existed)
(6 cities claim Daniel’s Tomb, the most famous being that in Susa, in southern Iran, at a site known as “Shush-e Daniyal”)
(he is not a prophet in ‘judaism’, but the rabbis reckoned him to be the most distinguished member of the Babylonian diaspora, unsurpassed in piety and good deeds, firm in his adherence to the Law despite being surrounded by enemies who sought his ruin, and in the first few centuries CE they wrote down the many legends that had grown up around his name)

(the various ‘branches’ of the ‘christian church’ do recognize him as a ‘prophet’, and although he is not mentioned in the ‘quran’, ‘muslim sources’ describe him as a nabi, a saintly/righteous man)
