• The Myth of the Amazons Aug 2, 2025

  

  In the distant lands beyond the Black Sea, where the wind swept across endless grasslands and the rivers ran swift and clear, there existed a kingdom unlike any other in the ancient world. This was the realm of the Amazons, the legendary warrior women whose courage and skill in battle were renowned throughout all the lands of mortals and gods alike.

  The Amazons were said to be the daughters of Ares, the god of war, and Harmonia, the goddess of harmony, though some tales claimed their lineage from the war-god and various nymphs of the wild places. Whatever their divine parentage, they inherited from Ares an unquenchable spirit for battle and from their mothers a deep connection to the natural world and to each other.
