Damaspia (from Old Persian *Jāmāspi- or *ðāmāspyā-) was an Achaemenid queen, wife of the king Artaxerxes I and mother of Xerxes II, his legitimate heir.
==Biography== According to the Greek historian Ctesias of Cnidus, King Artaxerxes and his wife died the same day (424 BC, perhaps during a military expedition), and their corpses were carried to Persia. Xerxes succeeded his father, but was murdered not much later (423 BC) by his half-brother Sogdianus.
