Amazonomachy

The Amazons, women warriors, are said to have ruled a region that Herodotus of Halicarnassus (5th century BC) in “Stories” situates in the border area between Scythia and Sarmacia. According to the Byzantine John Tzetzes (12th century AD) in “Post-Homeric”, the Amazon Penthesilea is supposed to have participated in the Trojan War.

As Amazonas, mulheres guerreiras, terão governado uma região que Heródoto de Halicarnasso (5th century BC) em “Histórias” situa na zona fronteiriça da Cítia com a Sarmácia. De acordo com o Bizantino João Tzetzes (12th AD) em “Pós-homérica”, a Amazona Pentesileia teria participado na Guerra de Troia.
