"In Greek mythology, the Amazons (Greek: \u1F08\u03BC\u03B1\u03B6\u03CC\u03BD\u03B5\u03C2, Amaz\u00F3nes, singular \u1F08\u03BC\u03B1\u03B6\u03CE\u03BD, Amaz\u014Dn) were a race of woman warriors. Herodotus placed them in a region bordering Scythia in Sarmatia (modern territory of Ukraine). Other historiographers place them in Anatolia, or sometimes Libya.Notable queens of the Amazons are Penthesilea, who participated in the Trojan War, and her sister Hippolyta, whose magical girdle, given to her by her father Ares, was the object of one of the labours of Hercules."@en .
