Artemisia of Halicarnassus was born in the city that is currently known as Bodrum (Turkey), and was the tyrant of the region of Caria (Asia Minor). She commanded a small fleet of five ships with which she joined the Persian army of the Great King Xerxes I in his expedition against the Greeks in the Second invasion of Greece. She fought at the head of her troops and led them in the battles of Artemisium and Salamis.

TEXT

Artemisia, a woman who took part in the expedition against Greece and for whom I feel a special admiration, since she personally exercised tyranny (as her husband was dead and she had a young son) and took part in the campaign, driven by her bravery and courage (Herodotus, Histories, VII, 99). 

She ruled over Halicarnassus, Cos, Nisiros and Calidna, and contributed five ships. The ships she contributed were precisely the most celebrated of the entire fleet, after those of Sidon , of course (VII, 99, 2).
