Artemisia II Stainless Steel Edition

Queen Artemisia of Caria, who ruled during the early 5th century BCE, is renowned for her role in the Greco-Persian Wars, specifically for her alliance with Xerxes I, the Persian king. As the ruler of Halicarnassus, Artemisia provided crucial naval support during the Persian invasion of Greece, most notably at the Battle of Salamis in 480 BCE. Despite her being a woman in a male-dominated era, Artemisia earned Xerxes' respect and admiration for her strategic acumen and valor in combat. Her counsel was often sought by Xerxes, and her actions during the battle, where she reportedly sank her own ally's ship to evade capture and trick the Greeks, showcased her cunning and decisive leadership. Artemisia's legacy endures as a testament to her extraordinary capabilities as a female warrior and tactician in ancient history. In other words, she was one badass lady.
