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?
- Queen of Halicarnassus
- Hometown of Herodotus
- Warrior
- Battle of Salamis
