She was the daughter of the Median king Astyages, and the wife of Cyrus II.
The female name Amytis is the Latinised form of the Greek name Amutis (Αμυτις), which perhaps may reflect (with vowel metathesis) an Median and Persian *ᴴumati, meaning "having good thought," and which is an equivalent of the Avestan term humaⁱti (𐬵𐬎𐬨𐬀𐬌𐬙𐬌).
[1] Amytis was married to Spitamas, who was a Median grandee and the prospective successor of Astyages.
[1] After Astyages was overthrown by the Persian king Cyrus, who was his own grandson through his daughter Mandane, and therefore was the nephew of Amytis, Cyrus killed Spitamas and married Amytis to legitimise his rule.
