I am Gorgo, Queen of Sparta.
The daughter and only child of Cleomenes I, King of Sparta of the Agiad house and
ruler of the land during the 6th and 5th centuries BC, and
the wife of King Leonidas I, Cleomenes' half-brother, who bravely fought and
died in the Battle of Thermopylae.
I am unique for being the daughter of a king of Sparta,
the wife of another king of Sparta,
and the mother of a third king of Sparta.
After my husband died in battle our eldest son, Pleistarchus,
took over the thrown as co-King of Sparta from 480 BC.
After his first cousin, Pausanias fell into disfavor and was accused of plotting treason, my son would then rule solely, after the Battle of Plataea a year later, and on to his death in 458 BC.
In short...I am not a woman to mess with as I come from a long line of great men and women and
won't hesitate to hurt you if you are a bad boy or girl *g*
