  History of Iran: Atossa, the Celestial and Terrestrial Lady of Ancient Iran
Atossa's mother, the Cassandane Queen, Pharnaspes's daughter and a Persian lady of noble birth was the favorite wife of Cyrus the Great.
It was mentioned that Atossa was well informed on the cultural affairs of her time and made full use of the frequent visits of the Greek and other nationalities and tribes to the court.
On the other hand, Atossa's influence and authority was quite effective in the decisions made by her husband and other officials in this respect, disregarding the absence of any legal and inheritance right to this effect.

 Atossa
Atossa (Old Persian Hutaosâ) was the daughter of the Persian king Cyrus the Great (559-530 BCE) and the first wife of king Darius I the Great (522-486).
There may have been another important element: the name Atossa is Zoroastrian, and it may be that Atossa belonged to a family that was connected to an important Persian faith.
Atossa is conspicuously absent from all Persepolis fortification tablets, which suggests that she died before 515, the year in which the oldest tablets were written.

ATOSSA Oft, since my son hath march'd his mighty host Against the lonians, warring to subdue Their country, have my slumbers been disturb'd With dreams of dread portent; but most last night, With marks of plainest proof.
ATOSSA Thy words strike deep, and wound the parent's breast Whose sons are march'd to such a dangerous field.
ATOSSA This from too frequent converse with bad men The impetuous Xerxes learn'd; these caught his ear With thy great deeds, as winning for thy sons Vast riches with thy conquering spear, while he Tim'rous and slothful, never, save in sport, Lifted his lance, nor added to the wealth Won by his noble fathers.

 The Baldwin Project: Xerxes by Jacob Abbott
Atossa did not admit the validity of this claim, but maintained that the oldest of her children was entitled to the inheritance.
The doctrine was very gratifying to the pride of Atossa, for it made Xerxes the successor to the crown as her son and heir, and not as the son and heir of her husband.
Atossa's ascendency over his mind, and her influence generally in the Persian court, was almost overwhelming, [31] and yet Darius was very unwilling to seem, by giving to the oldest grandson of Cyrus the precedence over his own eldest son, to admit that he himself had no legitimate and proper title to the throne.

 California's Endangered Insects - Unsilvered Fritillary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
This southernmost subspecies of Speyeria adiaste was known to be abundant in several southern California mountain ranges, particularly near Mt. Pinos in the Transverse ranges and in the Tehachapis further to the east.
Because the larva of the Atossa fritillary was never discovered, it can only be assumed that it fed on Viola species like other members of the genus.
For this subspecies to have disappeared from areas that are largely undisturbed indicates that the cause may not be external.

'Atossa would be successful in all she undertook.' "Cambyses seemed satisfied with this answer, but, as the next night the vision appeared again, he threatened the wise men with death, unless they could give him another and a different interpretation.
They pondered long, and at last answered, 'that Atossa would become a queen and the mother of mighty princes.' "This answer really contented the king, and he smiled strangely to himself as he told us his dream.
Now you know all; and now that I have given her up--now that I know it would be madness even to think of her again--I am obliged to be very stern with myself, lest, like the king, I should fall into deep melancholy for the sake of a woman.

As Atossa enters to report her recurring nightmare and the troubling omen sent her by the gods, Mahmud wakes to inform Hassan of his own recurring dream, one as disturbing as Atossa's.
Atossa has been "always haunted [GREEK TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] by many nocturnal dreams"' appearing to foreshadow the defeat of her son, Xerxes, who has recklessly led a military expedition into Greece.

Atossa, the widow of the Persian King Darius, sees the death of their son Xerxes in a dream.
The allegorical figure of Greece on the left, the agent of Xerxes's destruction, was particularly admired by the sculptor John Flaxman, who wrote of this cartoon that it was "conducted with the fire and severity of a Greek bas-relief".

Queen Atossa and Dr. Jerri Nielsen -- separated by era and geography, by culture, religion, politics, economics, and world view -- could hardly have been more different.
One was the most powerful woman in the ancient world, the daughter of an emperor, the mother of a god the other is a twenty-first-century physician with a streak of adventure coursing through her veins.
From the imperial throne in ancient Babylon, Atossa could not have imagined the modern world, and only in the driest pages of classical literature could Antarctica-based Jerri Nielsen even have begun to fathom the Near East five centuries before the birth of Christ.
