Artemisia
Daughter of Hecatomnus, and sister, wife, and successor of the Carian prince Mausolus, reigned B. c. 352-350. She is renowned in history for her extraordinary grief at the death of her husband Mausolus.
She is said to have mixed his ashes in her daily drink; and to perpetuate his memory she built at Halicarnassus the celebrated monument, Mausoleum, which was regarded as one of the seven wonders of the world, and whose name subsequently became the generic term for any splendid sepulchral monument.
