Artemisia: My Women Have Become Men
Listen now
Description
Queen Artemisia of Caria joins the world’s biggest empire in a legendary campaign to wipe out the rebellious cities of ancient Greece. In a council filled with men, she gives sound advice and strategic insight, which the men leading the coalition rejected. When Artemisia’s advice was not heeded, she dutifully led her fleet in the sea battle that would decide the fate of the world – and pulled off one of history’s most audacious escapes, earning the admiration of the Father of History.  Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father-daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to tell the story of Artemisia.
