Description: (Queen)
The Amazons were a group of formidable female warriors and hunters known for their exceptional physical abilities, including agility, strength, archery, riding skills, and combat expertise. Led by their queen, they embarked on extensive military campaigns in various regions, where they built temples and ancient cities. Their society excluded men, focusing on raising daughters and only briefly interacting with fathers for reproduction purposes. They were based in the independent kingdom of Pontus in northern Anatolia, with their capital located at Themiscyra on the banks of the Thermodon river. Archaeological findings suggest that their myth may have been influenced by the horse cultures of the Scythian, Sarmatian, and Hittite peoples.
