The "where, however, he makes the mistake of calling Artemisia the wife of Mausolus)" bit seems to be out of place...is something missing? And is it a mistake to call Artemisia the wife of Mausolus? I thought she was. Adam Bishop 02:15, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Interesting. See The Suda Online. It looks to me like Smith's writer saw something about this, but garbled it, and in using "the celebrated Artemisia" is under the impression that this is Herodotus' Artemisia, Xerxes' warlike woman. That said, the Suda could be defended. Vitruvius 2.14 describes the later Artemisia's military exploits against the Rhodians. There may be other refs. I'll change.

Pigres of Caria[edit]
I assume the Pigres of "Caria" described in The New International Encyclopædia is actually this Pigres of Halicarnassus? --Azertus (talk) 15:52, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
