Elsewhere on this site, avi cited sources to the effect that, contrary to the Bavli (M'gila), the events recounted in the book of Ester took place after the second bes hamikdash was built. Do any rishonim (or earlier Judaism sources) say as much, thus lending credibility to the claim? (A number of rishonim, in their commentaries on Nach, did not hesitate to argue with the Bavli's reading of Nach.) I seek not sources who merely could be interpreted as implying as much (after all, one could say the p'sukim themselves imply as much), but sources who actually say so.
