Daniel the Prophet (דָּנִיֵּאל, daniyyel). Hero of the book of Daniel. Described as a member of the Judaean nobility. Carried off to Babylon in 597 bc (Dan 1:1–3). The introduction says that Daniel lived until the “first year of Cyrus” (539 bc; Dan 1:21), but the narrative records event into the reign of “Darius the Mede,” presumably Darius I (522–486 bc). The book depicts Daniel as a pious, wise man who received revelations—the protagonist of stories in Dan 1–6 and the presumed author of Dan 7–12.
