  === Life Sketch ===
  Amytis of Babylon (c. 630-565 BC; Median: *Umati-; Ancient Greek: Ἄμυτις Ámutis) was a Queen consort of Ancient Babylon. She was the daughter of the Median king Cyaxares, and the wife of Nebuchadnezzar II.
  The female name Amytis is attested only in the Greek form Ámutis, which perhaps may reflect (with vowel metathesis) an Median and Persian *Umati-, meaning "having good thought," and which is an equivalent of the Avestan term humaiti (𐬵𐬎𐬨𐬀𐬌𐬙��).
  
  Amytis was either born to Cyaxares and his wife, or to Cyaxares's son, Astyages, and daughter-in-law, Aryenis.
  In either case, it is believed she was conceived out of wedlock.
  Amytis married Nebuchadnezzar to formalize the alliance between the Babylonian and Median dynasties.
  
  Hanging Gardens of Babylon
  Tradition relates that Amytis' yearning for the forested mountains of Media led to the construction of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, as Nebuchadnezzar attempted to please her by planting the trees and plants of her homeland. Historical evidence, however, does not lend support to this tradition.
