Father of Lies?

  • Not much mention of me
  • Mostly from Herodotus
  • I'm not Artimisia II
  • I'm not the type to kill myself over a guy
  • Previous husband (king) unknown
  • No record of son, Pisindelis, ruling after me
  • After escorting Xerxes' kids to Ephesos there is no further mention of me
  • In conclusion: maybe I was real but I'm leaning towards not

What did I do?

  • Advised king Xerxes gainst the naval battle at Salamis
  • Joined in anyways
  • Tricked the persians into the straits by "retreating" and then attacking
  • Got a little mixed up and had to ram through a friendly ship to get out alive
  • Worked out for me though because Xerxes didn't know I sunk one of our ships. ;)
  • Convinced Xerxes to withdraw from Greece
  • Took his kids to Ephesos for him
  • Killed myself over unrequited love?

Who am I?
