Semiramis is called the “legendary” queen of Assyria, but Babylon was an old city before Nebuchadnezzar trod its dust. Semiramis had been the wife of Omnes, general in the king’s army. In the siege of Bactria she herself led a forlorn hope against the walls and captured fit. Enchanted by her power, King Ninus resolved to make her his queen. Omnes committed suicide. At the king's detth, Semiramis ruled the kingdom, founded Babylon, conquered Persia and Egypt, and made incur- slons into India, where in personal combat with King Strabobates she was wounded. She died at sixty-two, builder, terror, charmer—a great woman. T00 LATE TO CLASSIFY The rate for want ads may be found at heading of reg- ular classified department.
