The Amazons were a tribe of warrior women in Greek mythology.
Queens[edit | edit source]
Living in the city of Themiskyra on the coast of the Black Sea, Hippolyta reigned as the Queen of the Amazons at some point in their history.[1]
During the Trojan War, the title belonged to Aegea. Those who followed her perished in a naval battle, while she survived by the grace of the Isu Poseidon, who led her to Elysium, ruled by Persephone.[2]
Influence[edit | edit source]
In the Valley of King Lelex in Megaris was located the Tomb of the Amazons, dedicated to Hippolyta. The tomb was visited by the Spartan mishios Kassandra during the Peloponnesian War.[3]
In the 5th century BCE, a cult rose around the goddess Artemis, consisting of warlike women like the Amazons of legends.[4]
In the late 9th century CE, the Viking Dag Nithisson of the Raven Clan would often tell stories of how he encountered the Amazons to the south of Scandinavia.[5]
During the Renaissance, Caterina Sforza was dubbed the "Amazon of Forlì" for her belligerent nature.[6][7] The title was also given to Théroigne de Méricourt in the 18th century for her part in the French Revolution.[8]
