Herakles in combat against Amazons, fighting to capture the belt of Hippolyta, the queen of Amazons

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]
