The following is a comprehensive list of all Persian empires and their rulers:
The Elamites were a people located in Susa, in what is now Khuzestan province. Their language was neither Semitic nor Aryan, and they were the geographic precursors of the Persian/Median empire that later appeared. Some have offered evidence for a linguistic kinship between Elamite and the modern Dravidian languages of Southern India, but this is not universally accepted. The proto-Elamites lived even as far back as 5500 BCE in Iran. See remains here.

Jiroft (Aratta?) Kingdom, (~2500 BCE)
The recent archeological findings at Jiroft have uncovered an "independent, bronze age, civilization with its own architecture and language" that have led some archeologists to speculate it to be the remains of the lost Aratta Kingdom. 1
Median Dynasty
- Deioces 728-675 BCE
- Phraortes 675-653 BCE
- Madius the Scythian 653-625 BCE
- Cyaxares 625-585 BCE
- Astyages 585-550 BCE
The Medes were an Iranian people. The Persians, a closely related and subject people, revolted against the Median empire during the 6th century BCE.
- Achaemenes, founder of the dynasty.
- Teispes of Anshan, his son.
- Cyrus I of Anshan, his son.
- Ariaramnes of Persia, son of Teispes and co-ruler of Cyrus I.
- Cambyses I of Anshan, son of Cyrus I.
- Arsames of Persia, son of Ariaramnes and co-ruler of Cambyses I
- Cyrus II the Great, son of Cambyses I, ruled from c.550 - 530 BCE.
- Cambyses II, his son, ruled 530 - 521 BCE.
- Smerdis, his alleged brother, ruled 521 BCE
- Darius the Great, his brother-in-law and grandson of Arsames, ruled 521 - 486 BCE.
- Xerxes I, his son, ruled 486 -465 BCE
- Artaxerxes I, his son, ruled 464 - 424 BCE.
- Xerxes II, his son, ruled 424 - 423 BCE.
- Sogdianus, his half-brother and rival, ruled 424 - 423 BCE.
- Darius II, his half-brother and rival, ruled 424 - 404 BCE.
- Artaxerxes II, his son, ruled 404 - 358 BCE (see also Xenophon).
- Artaxerxes III,his son, ruled 358 - 338 BCE
- Arses, his son, ruled 338 - 336 BCE
- Darius III Codomannus, great-grandson of Darius II, ruled 336 -330 BCE
The epigraphic evidence for the rulers before Cyrus the Great is highly suspect, and often considered to have been invented by Darius I.

(The Seleucid Dynasty gradually lost control of Persia. In 253 BCE, the Arsacid Dynasty established itself in Parthia. The Parthians gradually expanded their control, until by the mid 2nd Century BCE, the Seleucids had completely lost control of Persia. There were more Seleucid rulers of Syria and, for a time, Babylonia, after Antiochus IV, but none had any effective power in Persia).
