	The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
		The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was a burial tomb for King Mausolus, who ruled the Caria province of the Persian Empire in the western portion of Asia Minor from 377-353 BCE.
		King Mausolus himself wasn't Greek, although the region he ruled was for a large swath of time dominated by Greek influence.
		During the rule of Mausolus, the king relocated the provincial capital to Halicarnassus, which is why it was the site of his burial.

	Mausolus - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Mausolus (Greek Maussolos) was satrap of Caria between 377 and 353, and is the most famous member of the Hecatomnid dynasty.
		Whatever the reason, Mausolus briefly joined what the historian Diodorus of Sicily calls the "Revolt of the Satraps", which is perhaps too grand a name for a series of rebellions that continued for some time without really threatening the stability of the Persian empire.
		That Mausolus regarded himself as some sort of national leader may perhaps also be inferred from his strict adherence to the ancient cults of his country.

		The upper chambers, called the king's and queen's, were completely hidden, the ascending passage to them having been closed by plugging blocks, which concealed the point where it branched upwards out of the roof of the long descending passage.
		The object of having two highly-finished chambers in the mass may have been to receive the king and his co-regent (of whom there is some historical evidence), and there is very credible testimony to a sarcophagus having existed in the queen's chamber, as well as in the king's chamber.

	Oration for the Liberty of the Rhodians E-book by Demosthenes
		The king of Persia favored her design against an island which, by its situation, commanded the Egean sea, and rendered the passage into Greece secure and easy; and which he justly expected to gain from the Carian princess by treaty or by arms, with less umbrage to the Greeks than any direct attack would give.
		There are men among you who frequently affect a disregard of Philip, as if beneath their attention; but of the king express the most terrible apprehensions, as of an enemy truly dangerous to those whom he may determine to attack.
		Demosthenes has endeavored to prove that the king, however he may favor or support the aristocracy at Rhodes, yet will not consider the interposition of the Athenians in defence of the liberty of that island as an act of hostility against him; and that neither he nor Artemisia will oppose them.
