The Amazons were a tribe of warrior women in Greek mythology.

Influence

In the Valley of King Lelex in Megaris was located the Tomb of the Amazons, dedicated to the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta. The tomb was visited by the Spartan mishios Kassandra during the Peloponnesian War.[1]

In the 5th century BCE, a cult rose around the goddess Artemis, consisting of warlike women like the Amazons of legends.[1]

During the Renaissance Caterina Sforza was dubbed the "Amazon of Forli" for her belligerent nature.[2]

The title was also given to Théroigne de Méricourt in 18th century for her part in the French Revolution.[3]
