| | Amazons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It is conjectured that the Amazons were originally the temple-servants and priestesses (hierodulae) of this goddess; and that the removal of the breast corresponded with the self-mutilation of the god Attis and the galli, Roman priests of Cybele. | | | The deities worshipped by them were Ares (who is consistently assigned to them as a god of war, and as a god of Thracian and generally northern origin) and Artemis, not the usual Greek goddess of that name, but an Asiatic deity in some respects her equivalent. | | | In Greek mythology, the Ἀμαζόνες, Amazons were either an ancient legendary nation of female warriors or a land dominated by women at the outer edges of their known world. |

| | Amazons |
| | The ancient Greeks considered the Amazons their most fearsome opponents, defenders of an ancient woman-centered faith who had to be defeated that father-rule might prevail---so it is that Penthesilea leads her Amazons in defense of matriarchal Troy. | | | The women profiled here--Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Fatimah, Anne Hutchinson, Florence Tim Oi Li, Charlene Spretnak, and Katherina Zell--were and are all Amazons, women who fought for the religious liberty and religious dignity of themselves and their sisters. | | | Even where archaeological evidence is lacking, surely the preponderance of stories featuring women warriors points to their historical existence. |
