Artazostre
Artazostre was a Persian princess, daughter of king Darius the Great by Artystone, daughter of Cyrus the Great.
According to the Greek historian Herodotus Artazostre was given in marriage to Mardonius, young son of the noble Gobryas, not much before he took the command of the Persian army in Thrace and Macedon.
Artazostre seems not to be mentioned by name in the Persepolis Fortification Tablets, but there are references to a "wife of Mardonius, daughter of the king", who received rations for a trip she made with Gobryas and a woman called Radušnamuya or Ardušnamuya, perhaps Gobryas' wife. However, another interpretation of the text suggests that Ardušnamuya was actually the anonymous "wife of Mardonius"
Mardonius had a son, probably by Artazostre, named Artontes.
