ARTEMISIA

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 666 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ARN-AUD
ARTEMISIA , the
sister
  and wife of Mausolus (or Maussollus), king of
Caria
 , was sole ruler from about 353 to 350 B.C. She has immortalized herself by the honours paid to the memory of her
husband
 . She built for him, in
Halicarnassus
 , a very magnificent tomb, called the
Mausoleum
 , which was one of the seven wonders of the world, and from which the name
mausoleum
  was afterwards given to all tombs remarkable for their grandeur. She appointed panegyrics to be composed in his honour, and offered valuable prizes for the best oratorical and tragic compositions. She also
erected a
monument
 , or
trophy
 , in Rhodes, to commemorate her conquest of that
island
 . When the Rhodians regained their freedom they built round this
trophy
  so as to render it inaccessible, whence it was known as the Abaton. There are statues of Mausolus and Artemisia in the British Museum.
Vitruvius ii. 8; Diodorus Siculus xvi. 36; Cicero, Tusc. iii. 31; Val. Max. iv. 6.
