Description


About Queen Artemisia: She was the queen of the Anatolian region of Caria. She is most famous for her role in the naval Battle of Salamis in 480 BCE in which she fought for the Persians. According to the Greek historian Herodotus (l. 484-425/413 BCE), she distinguished herself both for her conduct in battle and for the advice she gave the Persian king Xerxes (r. 486-465 BCE) prior to the onset of the engagement. Her name is derived from the Greek goddess Artemis, who presided over the wild and was the patron deity of hunters. She was the daughter of King Lygdamis of Halicarnassus and a Cretan mother whose name is not known. Upon the death of her husband (whose identity is also unknown), Artemisia assumed the throne of Caria as regent for her young son Pisindelis. While it is probable that he ruled Caria after her, there is no record to substantiate this.
