Mausolos - Mausolos (English spelling)

Governor of Caria, Asia Minor under the Achaemenid Empire (377-353 BC). He maintained a de facto independent status and moved his governor's base from Mylasa to Halicarnassus. In 362 BC, he joined the anti-Persian revolt of other governors of Asia Minor, and in the Allied Wars between Athens and its allied poleis (357-355 BC), he assisted the rebel poleis and brought the islands of Rhodes and Kos into his sphere of influence. He loved the Greek arts and sciences, and planned to build a magnificent mausoleum for himself at Halicarnassus, the Mausoleion. After his death, his sister, Artemisia II (?-351 BC), who became his wife according to Carian custom, took over the construction of the Mausoleion and led it to completion. The ancients considered it one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Japanese:

アケメネス朝ペルシア支配下の小アジア、カリアの総督(在任前377~前353)。彼は、事実上独立の地位を保ち、総督駐在地をミラサからハリカルナッソスに移した。紀元前362年小アジアの他の総督たちの起こした対ペルシア反乱に加わり、またアテネと同盟諸ポリス間に行われた同盟市戦争(前357~前355)では、離反ポリスを助けて、ロードス島とコス島を勢力範囲に収めた。ギリシアの学芸を愛し、ハリカルナッソスに自分のための壮麗な廟(びょう)、マウソレイオンMausoleionの建立を企てた。妹で、カリアの慣習に従い妻となったアルテミシア2世Artemisia Ⅱ(?―前351)は、彼の死後、マウソレイオンの建造工事を引き継いで、その完成に導いた。古代人は、この建物を世界七不思議の一つに数えた。
