_____________________________
The Amazons were a tribe of warrior women from the northern Black Sea, first mentioned in Greek mythology. They are said to have been the daughters of Ares, the god of war. Heracles, at the behest of King Eurystheus, was sent to fetch the enchanted girdle of Queen Hippolyta (Queen of the Amazons). Valiant Hippolyta and proud Antiope ruled over the Amazons. The girls were roughly prepared to become Amazons. Accounts of female warriors also exist in China, North and West Africa, but nowhere like the Greeks. The Amazons reportedly threatened Athens five times. A victory over the Amazons had come to be more celebrated than a victory over the Persians.
