:''For the isopod genus, see ''Artistun (isopod). Artistun Artystone (Greek Ἀρτυστώνη ''Artistun''; Elamite ''Ir-taš-du-na'', ''Ir-da-iš-du-na''; from Old Persian *''Artastūnā'', "pillar of Arta, the deified true"〔Smith 1849, p 368; Schmitt 1987, p. 665.〕) was a Persian princess, daughter of king Cyrus the Great, and sister or half-sister of Cambyses II, Atossa and Smerdis (Bardiyā).〔Schmitt 1987.〕 Along with Atossa and her niece Parmys, Artistun married king Darius I. It is argued that by marrying the female offspring of Cyrus, the founder of the empire, the new king aimed to prevent his rule from being contested.〔Brosius 1998, pp. 60, 62.〕 Artistun and Darius had at least two sons, Arsames and Gobryas, and a daughter, Artistun. According to the Greek historian Herodotus Artistun was Darius' favourite wife. She is also mentioned in the Persepolis Fortification Tablets, an administrative archive from Persepolis. ==Primary sources== *Herodotus, 3.88.2 bis; 7.69.2; 7.72.2. *The Persepolis Fortification Archive 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Artystone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
