<p> Legendary queen of Assyria, to whom tradition ascribes the founding of [[Babylon]] with its hanging gardens, and is said to have surpassed in valour and glory her husband Ninus, the founder of Nineveh; she seems to have in reality been the [[Venus]] or [[Astarte]] of the [[Assyrian]] mythology. The story goes that when a child she was deserted by her mother and fed by doves. </p> | <p> Legendary queen of Assyria, to whom tradition ascribes the founding of [[Babylon]] with its hanging gardens, and is said to have surpassed in valour and glory her husband Ninus, the founder of Nineveh; she seems to have in reality been the [[Venus]] or [[Astarte]] of the [[Assyrian]] mythology.
