'''Semiramis''', wife of Nimrod, successor thereof to the kingdom of the Assyrians. Mother and source to the international pagan pantheons and worshipped as the "virgin of the world"<ref>Hall, Manley P., ''Isis, the Virgin of the World''</ref> under the many names such as [[Isis]]; [[Ishtar]]; [[Aphrodite]]; [[Freya]]; [[Ashteroth]]; [[Dianna]]; [[Athena]]; [[Minerva]]; [[Luna]]; the principal at pagan Mecca: the moon god Allah and his three interceding daughters Al-Uzza, Al-Lat and Al-Menat<ref>http://inthenameofallah.org/Daughters%20of%20Allah.html</ref>; [[Venus]]; [[Nike]]; [[Victoria]]; Britannica; Germanica; Columbia; etc.
She came to the throne by pretending to be her son.<ref>Justin's ''History of the World'', 1.2</ref> She invented the turban thereby as a way to hide her long hair wrapped therein and forced it and other clothing items upon her citizens as a national costume to prevent people from thinking she was dressing oddly and thereby discovering that she was not her son Ninyas (aka Tamus).<ref>Justin's ''History of the World'', 1.2</ref> The style of dress according to [[Diodorus Siculus|Diodorus]] in Hellenistic times had remained as common place across the east in his day;<ref>Diodorus Siculus, ''Biblotheca Historica'', 2.6.6</ref>
Similarly did [[Marcus Junianus Justinus Frontinus|Justin]] in Roman times.<ref>Justin's ''History of the World'', 1.2</ref>
==Etymology==
[[Diodorus Siculus|Diodorus]] claims the name is a reduplicate form of the then Syrian word for 'doves'; bolstered by a supernatural story of how she had a divine origin and was kept alive as an infant child by wild doves: not being dissimilar in nature to the stories told of the Romulus and Remus who were kept alive by a bitch of a she-wolf.
