Artemisia I of Caria, a queen and naval commander, was one of the most remarkable figures of the Greco-Persian Wars. Ruling the city-state of Halicarnassus in the early 5th century BCE, she governed as a loyal vassal to the Persian King Xerxes I. Renowned for her strategic brilliance, Artemisia played a pivotal role in the naval campaign during the Second Persian invasion of Greece, particularly at the Battle of Salamis in 480 BCE.
