Biography of Lady Artemis:

This lady in the year 480 Before Christ, he participated in the battle of Salamis with five Trium heavy cruisers and eight thousand infantry consisting of eight regiments and two battalions of six hundred men from the elite forces of the Immortal Guard sent by Khashariar Shah to protect Queen Artemis..

Schmitt, Rüdiger. «ARTEMISIA». Encyclopædia Iranica, August 15, 2011. Reviewed in 2012-03-29.

In the Achaemenid period, this lady was in charge of satrapy. At that time, Kariya was considered one of the satraps of Iran. Herodotus, who was also a resident of Halicarnassus, did not hide his amazement and surprise at this lady's participation in the anti-Greek wars.. According to Herodotus, none of the subordinate commanders of Iran has given good advice to Xerxes and given precious guidance as much as he did..

Herodotus. ص 382

The Iranians, who witnessed the bravery of the beautiful lady of their army, were excited and fought bravely so that the lady would not be harmed, especially the two battalions of the Queen's bodyguards, who were from the Immortal Corps, were so brave that the Queen was also excited, and this bravery made her popular until now. has been.
The bravest Iranian commander who inflicted a crushing defeat on the Greeks followed the Phoenician naval forces that were fleeing from the battle and had created a gap in Iran's defense lines, and while sinking the Phoenician fleet, the Greek fleet that had penetrated the gap and He had failed to attack the Iranian fleet from behind .

We will quote some narrations from Herodotus:

Before the start of the naval battle of Salamis, Xerxes asked all the local amirs and naval commanders for their opinion on the naval battle.. The responses were all in favor of a naval war with the Greek Navy, except for Artemis. He said

I, who have not been inferior to Ahad in all the battles of the king in terms of bravery and sacrifice, my message is that you should not waste your forces unnecessarily and avoid naval battles because the Greeks are superior in sea affairs.. What is required in this work? Aren't other parts of Greece under the authority of the king? It is no longer possible for anyone to express himself in front of the king. Those who have fought with our Shahryar so far have been repressed as they deserved. Leave the troops where they are now. Even to the Peloponnese (Southern Greece) Go ahead or stay here, the aim is to achieve unity and the Greeks do not have the strength to withstand the greatness and power of Shahriari.. I worry that defeat in this naval war will lead to defeat on other fronts. There is another point. Great princes often have noble servants, and bad servants are served by worthy chakras. The emperor, who is the supreme ruler of the world, does not have the proper chakras. Those who have the title of royal assistants means the Egyptian, Cypriot, and Cilician rulers (An ancient state in Asia Minor) and Pamphilgia (An ancient state in Asia Minor) There are no more invalid and ineffective people.

When Artemis's friends heard these statements, they thought that Xerxes would punish him for trying to persuade the king to give up the war, but the emperor was pleased with Artemis' answer.. Despite this order, it was decided that the vote of the majority should be used and the king himself would personally monitor the course of the war.

Herodotus. p. ۴۴6 p. ۴۴7

Artemis built five ships, which were among the most famous in Xerxes' navy after the Phoenician ships.. Herodotus writes about this, during the battle of Artemis, while the Athenian ships were chasing him and his escape from that strait was impossible, he thought of a solution.. He disabled an accomplice ship. By sinking this ship, Artemis shot two arrows because the captain of the Greek ship, seeing the damage that Artemis had done to the Persian ship, thought that he was on the side of a Greek ship, so he stopped chasing her and pursued another target.. On the other hand, he should increase his dignity and respect in front of Xerxes because it has been narrated that Xerxes, who was personally overseeing the war operations, drew his attention and one of the servants said, "Your Highness, do you see with what skill Artemisia fights? "He disabled one of the enemy's ships." "Is she really Artemis?" asked Xerxes. The audience replied, "There is no doubt because the mark of his device is prominent and visible." Even though he thought he had damaged the enemy ship. It is said that the king saw that scene and said, "My men have become women and my women have become men."

Herodotus. P. 453

(There are contradictions in the story told by Herodotus about the sinking of his own ship by Artemis.. In such a great war, where hundreds of warships from both sides participated, it is expected that, like any other battle, the ships of the warring parties will carry special flags and symbols, so that the friendly forces can be distinguished from the enemy.. Also, it seems unlikely that the reality of such an incident would have been hidden from the eyes of the Greek and Iranian troops present on the battlefield and from the eyes of the king and his companions who were watching from the heights overlooking the battlefield of Salamis.. If the companions of Xerxes were at a distance where they could distinguish a woman from a man, how could they have had an error of vision in distinguishing an internal ship from an enemy ship?.

In general, in mentioning the events surrounding Artemis, by Herodotus, a sense of pride and praise for a brave and powerful woman who was his fellow citizen and the desire to remove the feeling of anger and malice of the Greeks against Artemis can be seen together.. It is likely that Herodotus tried to fulfill both of his wishes with some limitations.)

Revenge of the Greeks against the people of Caria

Vitruvius, an architect and one of the Roman soldiers, writes in his book, "In the Iran-Greece war, the people of Caria supported Iran.

When the Greeks finally stopped the Iranians from advancing on Greek soil, they punished the Carians.

They killed Kariya men and enslaved their women.

It was decided that these women should carry a burden for eternity. As a symbol of the eternal burden of Carian women, female columns entered Greek architecture. There is no consensus among archaeologists about the validity of this theory.

Some archaeologists believe that this style of architecture existed before the battle of Salamis.

In the sixties (Solar forties) The Iranian Navy, for the first time, named a large destroyer after a woman and she was "Artemis"..
The destroyer Artemis was launched during the service of "Admiral Farajullah Rasaei" and for many years it was guarding the coast of Iran in the waters of the Persian Gulf..
The popularity of Artemis continued throughout the era, and even in the Sassanid and Islamic periods, the name of many court girls, even Seljuk sultans, was Artemis, and she was very popular with patriotic kings such as Seljuk King Jalal al-Din Khwarazm and Shah Abbas, and before Islam, it is needless to say that Perhaps the name of many Iranian girls was Artemis.

The first Iranian female commander,Artemis

Artemis was always respected by the court and the person of the king, and was often consulted by the king, and his vote was considered one of the most important votes in the war council, and in the end, in addition to being the commander of the Iranian fleet, he was a satrap, a member of the Supreme Defense Council of Iran, a member of the Ministry of War, and a supreme member. She was the Minister of Defense and the commander of Iran's Western Corps, the commander of two Javidan battalions, and the commander of five heavy cruisers, and lastly, she is the first female sailor and the first female defense minister in the world..
Maybe Artemis is the first woman who went to court men. She proposed marriage to King Xerxes. Artemis was in love with King Xerxes..
However, she never married King Xerxes, and King Xerxes married Lady Esther, a Jewess . Esther became the wife and queen of the Persians, but Xerxes was the main love of Artemis.
