Read the full account
The Histories, as later transmitted, open with Candaules' wife and return to Amestris, Atossa, and similar palace set-pieces. The instrument is that narrative habit inside one inquiry, not a 5th-century women's register and not a Loeb 1920 act. Some women speak; the gallery still schools the anecdote. Herodotus's documented role is: He composed the anecdotes as later transmitted. Some women appear as political actors. Medium on unique later-harm coefficients.
Context
Artemisia at Salamis is stored separately as a named commander. Sharing informants with unnamed storytellers is required. Egyptian gender-reversal types sit in the Egyptian logos row. A Roman-copy bust does not illustrate these women. The setting of The inquiry cycles palace-and-revenge stories of women more often than civic speeches by women is the public file around -0440-06-01. Driver protection-of-minority-rights is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.
That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
