Sammuramat has been the subject of many myths about her reign as both the wife of and mother of kings. Legend has it that she accompanied her husband into battle. She is historically credited with re-building Babylon and with the conquest of neighboring states; including the defeat of the Indian army at the Indus River. It has been written that when she returned from that battle, she turned over her power to her son, Ninyas; who then had her killed. (How's that for gratitude?) She was 62 years old and had ruled her kingdom alone successfully for decades.
