Basic Info| Name: | Queen Gorgo |
|---|---|
| Location: | Greece |
BioGorgo (fl. 480 BC) was the daughter and the only child of Cleomenes I, King of Sparta (r. 520-490 BC) during the 6th and 5th centuries BC. She was the wife of King Leonidas I, who fought and died in the Battle of Thermopylae. Gorgo is noted as one of the few female historical figures actually named by Herodotus, and for her political acumen and wisdom shown at various ages. Little about her life is known, other than that she was the daughter of a king of Sparta, that she was married to another king of Sparta, and that she was the mother of a third king of Sparta. Her birth date is uncertain, but is almost certain to have been between 510 and 506 BC, based on Herodotus dating (Histories, 5:51). The implications of this are in the pronounced age difference between herself and her husband Leonidas- at least 20-30 years.
