"Iranian students have found a new and innovative way to express their disenchantment against the oppressive rule of the Mullahs. They’ve used protests, boycotts and sit-ins, but now they have turned to a different type of warfare, the water gun fight."
The Persian Queen Atossa:
Atossa was an Achaemenid queen and daughter of Cyrus the Great and his wife, Cassandane. She lived from 550 BC to 475 BC and probably was a sister (or half-sister) of the Persian king Cambyses II.
Atossa married Darius the Great (Darius I) during 522 BC after Darius I, with the help of the nobleman Otanes, defeated the followers of a man claiming to be Bardiya(Smerdis), the younger brother of Cambyses II.
Atossa, had a “great authority” in the Achaemenian royal house and her marriage with Darius I is suggested to be because of her power and influence and also the fact that she was a direct descendent of Cyrus the Great (Cyrus II).
Xerxes I was the eldest son of Atossa and Darius.
Atossa probably means a shapely or slim woman.
Years ago, when I was younger…..

"You cannot be buried in obscurity: you are exposed upon a grand theater to the view of the world. If your actions are upright and benevolent, be assured they will augment your power and happiness."
