The AmaEoas-

The history Of the Anazons IS one Of the
strangest a.d most wonderful. even when told
in its utmost simplicity, because it shows rs the
gentle sex usurPinE some the attributes q man.
The nlazous are spoken Of IN mythology as
a nation Of female warriors. who live IN a cou-

According TO Justin. the historian, two Sev1

amor 8 them was killed in tie el,il- ter
wives and daughters 20 weep over their loss
Strange 10 say, the grief of these high-sPirited
women, far from depressing them, a. the passion
usually does, showed itself in loud and active
elamor. by which they excited one another 50
much, that they at length resolved to revenge
their departed kindred. and, taking the field
with better success than the men, drove their
victors from the disputed territory.
After this exploit. they elected two rulers, or
queens, who had sirnalizcd themselves by their
incompatible daring and yaIor during the late
engagement; these queens were authorized 80
command their armies in time OF war, and TO
administer the domestic affairs Of the kingdom
in time Of peace. The capital Of this new eoun-
try was called Themisyra it was built aloag
the sides Of the TLermodon stream nos fur Lom
the Euxine sea.
This female community appears to have thriv-
en- very well. In the time Of Theseus. king Of
Athens, they were strong enough to invade A.
tica with numerous and powerful army, under
the command Of the intrepid Hyppolita. beau

The Am7zons are generally represented IN
