King Houegbadja (who ruled from 1645 to 1685), the third King of Dahomey, is said to have originally started the group which would become the Amazons as a corps of elephant hunters called the gbeto.
Dahomeyn kolmannen kuninkaan Houegbadjan (joka hallitsi 1645–1685 ), on sanottu alun perin aloittaneen ryhmän, josta tuli amatsoneja elefanttien metsästäjien joukkoihin nimeltä gbeto.
