In Antiquity, it was said that it was a tribe of independent and powerful women who had rebelled against the society dominated by men. They lived in isolated places, excluded men from their society and waged war against them. Today, we can call them the first extremist feminists. Little is known about the legendary <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Amazons\">Amazons<\/a>, most of whom come from myths. Only a few historical facts have been discovered to prove the existence and development of an Amazonian culture.

Anyway, the truth is that this ancient history has captivated many historians, writers, filmmakers and has intrigued everyone&#8217;s mind.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-slot=\"8089583832\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5440141123165360\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Discover the myth of the Amazons &#8211; The culture of the Amazons<\/h3>\n<p>The myth says that they lived in the city of Themiscyra, at the edge of the Thermodon river in Asia Minor, and that they were a race of powerful women warriors.

It was thought to be a necessary evil, to maim and remove all possible obstacles to using a spear or drawing an arrow. This practice may have given them the name Amazon from the classical Greek word &#8220;Amazoi&#8221;, which is translated either by &#8220;without breast&#8221;, or by &#8220;full breast&#8221;, or by &#8220;not touched&#8221;. &#8220;It is a paradox, but this is precisely how the Amazons were portrayed, whether in sculptures or paintings.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-slot=\"4657719250\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5440141123165360\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-layout-key=\"-ef+6k-30-ac+ty\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Below are some more myths<\/h3>\n<p>These women were more in tune with war than with feminism. An Amazon was not allowed to marry, because they thought it was a kind of slavery for a man. However, to continue their race, they often mated with men from neighboring societies or with beautiful prisoners of war. Once their purpose is accomplished, the prisoners would be used as slaves or killed. A male offspring suffered a fate similar to that of his father. If a boy was born, his mother would kill him or send him away.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it was kept alive so that it would grow and be used for sexual pleasure or as a supplier of human seeds. On the contrary, when a girl was born, she was looked after, fed and raised mainly as a warrior, but nevertheless, as a beautiful woman. The modern popular imagination installed them in isolated forest regions, where they could protect themselves from male invasions and dressed the Amazons in leather clothes which cover some parts of the body. However, in the old ceramic vessels, they were depicted wearing long dresses that reach the knee. The moon, since time immemorial, has been the symbol of all that is feminine and beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>The Amazons were not only beautiful women who led a wild life. They also worshiped the moon. Their name may have resulted from contact with ancient Circassians who were known to worship the moon as well. The word Amazon in the ancient Circassian language meant &#8220;mother moon&#8221; or &#8220;mother of the forest&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The amazons myth of warrior women<\/p>\n<p>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/palam.ca\/en\/passion-against-love-what-is-difference\/\">Passion against love what is difference<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Did you like this article ?
