Daughter of the Persian king DARIUS I (550–486 BCE, ruled 522–486) and wife of MARDONIUS son of GOBRYAS, Persian general who commanded the forces at the Battle of PLATAEA in 479. Artozostra is said to have married Mardonius shortly before he took command of the Persian army in THRACE and MACEDONIA after the IONIAN REVOLT in 492 (6.43.1). She may be the unnamed princess whose daily rations are authorized at stations between SUSA and PERSEPOLIS on a tablet from the Persepolis Fortification archive dating to March 498 BCE (PFa 5 = Kuhrt 2007, 598–99).
