Artemisia was the daughter of Hekatomnos and the sister of Mausollos. On the death of satrap Mausollos in 353 BC she became the satrap of Caria. A satrap (Old Persian xšaçapāvān, “protector of the rule”) was in the ancient Persian Empire the governor of a province who, as the representative of the Great King, exercised administrative, military and judicial functions.
During her reign she rose to prominence due to the construction of the funerary monuments of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus and the conquest of Rhodes.
