HEROINES OF HISTORY
The Queen Who Ruled OUer Babylon
By MARK STUYVESANT

CHE lived by the sword and
~ died by the sword-this
celebrated woman Of long,
long ago. No doubt her barbaric
heart was content.
The crumbling walls of a dead
city pay tribute to her greatness,
now, after centuries have flown.
Plains that once were mount
tains. attest her greatness, and
the ghosts of immense aqueducts,
stretching over the lowIands OF
the Euphrates, bear witness to
her vision.
Semiramis she was called in the
thirteenth century, before the
Christian era.
Even when she reigned on the
throne Of Ninevah, beside Memo
mes. Cvershadowed by his masculi-
nifty, the story Of her wisdom and
beauty travelled to far corners Of
the earth.
Minus, king of Assyria, heard of
her and paid her tribute. So af-
fronted was Menones by the
action Of the neighboring monarch
that he sought forgetfulness in
death. His court found his body
dangling one morning from q
branch to which he had hung him
self in the night.
Semiramis was free to follow
ambition, and her first step was
to accept the suit of Minus. Nor
did he find her fascination dinlin.

charm did he become that he

gift she might ask.

Semiramis asked for one day
Of complete power. For the hours
between sun and sun she wished
to be undispted ruler Of the
country.
It was an unfortunate day for
Minus when he granted his queens
request, for hardly were the
words out Of his mouth when
she ordered him executed, that
her reign might be prolonged.
Then began her work Of bufld-
Ing up and developing Babylon.
She made the city the most mag
nificent in the world, and every
where, through her domain, she
left monuments of her greatness.
She 1eveled mountains, filled up
valleys, and had water carried to
unfruitful plains.
Under her generalship many
nations were conquered, Ethiopia
among the rest. But India con-
quered her armies In the end.
Then she resigned the government
to Ninyas. her son.
Ninyas apparently deemed the
country safer for himself with
his mother out OF the way-even
as she had seen opportunity for
her own glory with Minus re-
moved.
Accordingly. Semiramis was
slain by the hand Of her son.
