	Semiramis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These facts are partly to be explained by observing that, according to the legends, in her birth as well as in her disappearance from earth, Semiramis appears as a goddess, the daughter of the fish-goddess Atargatis, and herself connected with the doves of Ishtar or Astartë.
		The irresistible charms of Semiramis, her sexual excesses, and other features of the legend, all bear out the view that she is primarily a form of Astartë, and so fittingly conceived as the great queen of Assyria.
		Although Semiramis has genrally been conceived as a purely mythical figure, some Assyrian evidence has arisen which may suggest that she was, in fact, a dim reflection of Sammu-rammat, the Babylonian wife of Shamshi-Adad V.

		Semiramis, in particular was the model and original of every goddess and female cult figure in the ancient and modern worlds (either directly or by derivation); and thus it essential to know her story in order to discern what is factual legend and what is merely myth.

	Legend of Semiramis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Although Semiramis may have similar characteristics to the ancient goddesses' of these earlier cults, it is a known fact that her legend should be placed separate, in reality, she is not a mythical goddess, since her story never mentions her ranked as an icon of worship.
		Semiramis was attired with such magnificence which enhanced her own unrivaled beauty that she seemed to front her splendor as more than just mere human, but at the same time her reputation was portrayed more as a powerful, Syrian semi-divine/human heroine...a female prototype of Hercules.
		It is apparently within reason to believe that the name Sammu-ramat is the archetype of Semiramis the Greek legend, and is in fact, the exaggerated accounts of the achievements of Semiramis and Ninus; there may be an echo of the times of the regency of Sammu-ramat and of the reign of her son.

	SEMIRAMIS Dedicato a Frazz reviews and MP3
		— Semiramis is one of the most bizarre and talented one-album Italian acts from the 70s, and 'Dedicato a Frazz' is one of my absolute favs of Italian prog.
		Their prog offer is astonishingly "schizophrenic", since it is founded upon a trategy of brutal contrast between the very heavy (delirious guitar solos and riffs, red hot rhythm patterns) and the realms of acoustic sensibility (acoustic and classical guitars interludes, gentle drops on vibes, string synth layers).
		Semiramis' sound is reminiscent (to a certain degree) of Balleto di Bronzo, UT-era New Trolls, PFM and Metamorfosi, though you can tell that Semiramis has got a peculiar musical "insanity" of their own, an "insanity" that allows them to push the boundaries of symph prog to extravagant levels of tension, contrast and dissonance.

		There is not any 'leading' instrument except, at times, the synthesizer." By which he means there is little or no soloing; the instruments play together in various combinations to advance the music.
		I'd call this "orchestral" except that the word has taken on a different meaning in the progressive rock context (to mean lushly symphonic - which Semiramis is not particularly).
