These mysterious and strong women emerge as unforgettable characters in mythology. Let's take a step into the epic world of the Amazon women together!
Origins and Divine Connections:
The mythological origin of the Amazon women is rooted in Queen Otrera, the daughter of the war god Ares and the goddess of harmony, Harmonia. Under Otrera's leadership, the Amazons came together and formed an independent, powerful warrior community. It is believed that the Amazon women were created with divine inspiration from the sky under Otrera's guidance.
Due to their passion for war and courage, they earned the protection of the war god Ares. Ares is considered a god who supports the Amazons in battle and guides them in the art of war. The Amazons move with great determination to fight in the name of Ares and achieve victory for him.
Amazon queens played significant roles in war, strategy, and society, leading the female warrior forces. They are acknowledged for their divine lineage and leadership abilities.

* Otrera: Founder and First Queen of the Amazons
* Hippolyte: Queen involved in Hercules' Tenth Labor
* Penthesilea: Legendary Queen in the Trojan War
* Antiope: Known for her relationship with Theseus
In mythology, various narratives describe the locations where the Amazon women lived. Often, the city of Themiscyra in the Black Sea region, the Pontus region, or certain areas of Anatolia are identified as the places where the Amazons dwelled. Some mythological sources suggest that the Amazons lived in tribes, establishing settlements in the Eastern Black Sea region, including present-day Northeastern Turkey, Georgia, Ukraine, and certain areas of Russia.

The mythical prototypes of the Amazons are some militant Scythian female warriors and temple female slave warriors from some Eastern countries. The Seleucid envoys saw such female slave warriors in Pāṭaliputra, the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty. Ancient Greek pottery They are often depicted in nomadic attire, as excellent horse archers, and as the Amazons' hometown on the northeastern coast of the Black Sea, this all points to the nomadic and Scythian attributes of the Amazons.

Yes, that's correct, but there is still no conclusive evidence regarding their identity as Scythians.

@@Epichistoryguide There is also no evidence of the existence of such a group of purely female clan tribes called Amazons. Amazons are more like a concept concocted by the ancient Greeks through some novel rumors from what they considered to be the edge of the world. For example, the ancient Greeks believed that there was also a tribe of Amazons in Africa. . Apparently the ancient Greeks referred to all groups of female warriors as Amazons, and there have indeed been female warriors in West Africa throughout our known history. The ancient Greeks defined the standard of "civilized people" and also defined the standard of behavior they believed women should have in a "civilized society". Behavior that did not meet this standard was called "Amazonian". Obviously the Amazons were In the eyes of the ancient Greeks, they were typical examples of anti-civilized barbarians. In modern European Christian societies, due to the rise of feminism, mythological elements such as Amazons and Lilith are regarded as symbols of ancient women's resistance to traditional patriarchy and male-dominated society. Their roles have changed from ancient times to modern times, and it is only the changes in people's values that have contributed to this change. And we all know that centaurs do not exist, and there are no griffins in the Scythian country. . . What the ancients believed existed may not exist at all in reality. It is written in Alexander's Expedition that during Alexander's expedition to India, some soldiers died at the mouths of mantices.So what is a manticore? Medieval Europeans believed that unicorns were real animals, but we all know that unicorns were just an misunderstanding caused by the translation of Hebrew into Greek, which was actually the aurochs.
