Well said. But one thing the Amazon's in Hellenic mythology or part of Hellenic society. There not foreign. They were Hellenic women with Hellenic name's spoke the Hellenic language and belived in the Hellenic pantheon shared a Hellenic culture. In other words they are Greeks and part of Greek society, just like Memnon Danaus Medea Andromeda etc.
@@worldcollider8080 Thank you. We must understand what is mythology first. Mythology is the telling of a story. Mythology consists of Phycology Anthropology Sociology Literature History Religion and Science related to the culture that created the story. Mythology goes beyond the borders of ones civilization to explain the world around them throw the view of the people telling the story. Mythology is the reflection of the culture that created the story in a devine state. Hope I helped.
@@taekfute Yes the Amazon's were section's but that doesn't change the fact that in Hellenic mythology they are a part of Hellenic culture. it's clear you have not read the Epic Poems. nor do you know about Hellenic culture and mythology. You are confusing the Mythical Kingdom of Aethiopia from Hellenic Mythology with Herodotus Geographical Term of Aethiopia in History. Homer's Mythical Kingdom of Aethiopia is in the East. Herodotus Aethiopia is in the South, South from Egypt and Libya. The country we know today has nothing to do with that. Ethiopia today was established in 1275 AD by Yekuno Amlak. But there is a Roman version of the story of Memnon that they believed he hailed from Africa. Romans would reimagine romanticize and rationalize Hellenic myths to bring them closer to reality and how they viewed the world. The Romans after conquering Egypt they connected Memnon to Herodotus Geographical Term of Aethiopia. In the original Hellenic source Memnon and the Mythical Kingdom of Aethiopia have nothing to do with Africa.
Sadly DC don't understand Amazonian women. they made them put a chick made her lame & gay, & u know what bro those dc writer give an disgusting excuses.
Finally you gave the Amazons their own long overdue time to shine😎 Hay just out of curiosity are you guys going to do their male counterpart the Gargareans
Some say the Amazons are the daughters of Ares. Some say that Ares had two daughters in the Amazons demi goddess. .one of them was tricked and by someone. Can't remember if it was Hera or not. Can't find the names ether. I do remember that Heracles and Hippolyra, slept together. but didn't take the magic girdle. Left back at the palace. . . But, I who I can't remember female name, head that the Greeks were trying to steal the queens girdle. And they raced to the Greek ships. Heracles and Hippolyra walking back to the queens palace. But the amazons saw she did not have her girdle . Thats when the battle started. Near the docks. The queen tried to stop it. But saw her sisters being cut down, she had fight back. That's when she Herc done her in . after the slaughter. Her went to the palace and took the girdle, but was in grief what happened. tt Some say that Hippolyra was Aries daughter. There are many Amazon queen's. To many I suppose to put 14 minutes. a very good introduction into the Amazon myths. Top Mark's 👽👍
There are also not so glorious rumours that they killed their offspring if they were male. Of course, the truthfulness of these rumours are not certain, but bear in mind that the Amazons may not have been as pure hearted as depicted in modern culture.
The mythical Amazon warriors from Greek mythology are brought to life in this enthralling film. An interesting window into this fascinating part of ancient Greek mythology is provided by the in-depth examination of their social role, military might, and cultural practices. Beautiful images and interesting, thought-provoking commentary combine to make this a riveting film. Bravo to the makers for illuminating these legendary heroes!
@@MarianLuca-rz5kk Originally, Wonder Woman was made by the gods, I prefer this origin story, instead of just being a other offspring of Zeus who could not keep it in this pant.
I wish I had your skills and time to make series about Shahnameh aka book of kings (ancient Persian stories). It is mix of beautiful true stories and myths . Great channel btw
😃👍👏 Yes. That was true story about The Incredible Amazon Warriors Greek Mythology in history. Reminds me like Wonder Woman in movie. They are Amazon wear armors and weapons are warriors but they are woman. That's is legendary Amazon Warriors Greek Mythology in history ever!
Their sandwich making skills clearly extend beyond the kitchen..... They make sandwiches of the enemy.... Oh well, I guess as long as their making sandwiches, it's fine.
Initially this legend had no explanation as to how they didn't die out without men to procreate with. During the later centuries subsidiary tales emerged to rectify the situation. Even though the Amazon women lived in a society completely independent of men, they mated with men from neighbouring lands. They kept the girls and sent the boys to their fathers. So there you go.
Actually in the story of the labour of Heracles Queen Hippolyta challenged Heracles into a contest in order to avoid bloodshed and war in her country and Heracles won the contest and he too the belt
Pseudo-Hyginus, Fabulae 30 (trans. Grant) (Roman mythographer C2nd A.D.) : "Twelve Labours of Hercules ordered by Eurystheus . . . He slew Hippolyte, daughter of Mars [Ares] and Queen Otrera, and took from her the belt of the Amazon Queen; then he presented Antiopa as captive to Theseus."
For the most part, women who are strong are already independent. And those who are not, don't wish to be. They prefer being provided for and looked after.
@@Angie2343Honestly, I think we need each other. Equally. Both sexes contribute essential elements to the relationship. I don't think we should seek to be independent of each other insofar as apart from each other. Separate. I think we should still seek to be together and operate on a basis of mutual respect and equality.
Huh 😮 very interesting history Amazon lady greek mm this's hope more interesting history yup anyways I love your video my dear brother father absolutely I love so much yup and cheers 🥂.😊
They Amazonian is likely to be women of nomadic tribes like the many Scythian tribes that Bronze Age Greek had encounters during the Bronze Age. To the Bronze Age Greek society, the concept of a female warrior must be exotic, and seen the people who was born during the Geometric Age have little records (in general) about Bronze Age Greek (mainland) society, what they do remember from passing down folklore mix with real re-collection of past events, re-interpreted through many generations, whom large doesn't remember it's original, was then mythology by story maker, music peoples, while the truth is that, in most nomadic society men and women are almost equal in statues, especially during earlier periods, and everyone have to fight out of necessity. It's most likely that the Early Bronze Age Greek city state, their colonies and their monarchy enslaves nomadic tribes people, and the tribes peoples fought back, include these women, while other Greek city state (not Polis) and their monarchy/nobility/whatever da phuc a "Wanex" mean to be, make alliances with some of these tribes, and there could be a traditions or a common thing for Early Greek to marriages people from these Nomadic tribes.
The came from the Scythians. One tribe with a loss of men were women fought alongside men. Due this imbalance the Doric described them as a female only tribe.
where is the amazon society talked about? i'd like to read about them, becasue everything ive read only touches on their warriors it does not describe their "perfect progressive" society...
You're right, it's hilarious how many comments are reacting as if this myth really happened. It's also interesting that in the video, a "male-dominated society" is portrayed as unjust, while a society exclusively ruled by women is being portrayed as equal and fair.
@@MrMurphyX You realize that Athens citizens were only adult male Athenian citizens (Born in Athens from Athens born parents) who had completed their military training as ephebes had the right to vote in Athens. The percentage of the population that actually participated in the government was 10% to 20% of the total number of inhabitants. Female Athens had a limited education and often focus on House Work and raising kids while males had more complex education. Also it's was men's job to do any outside of house activities like shopping. And most events of cultural and political events were also available to man only. And were things were exactly better in other parts of Greece. Spartan females had a "better" life and rights than Athens females. But it wasnt like their life was piece of cake. The only women who Greece Value were the female Gods due to their God status, a mortal couldn´t say that Athenas wasn't qualified as War Deity because she was female and insulting a god even a minor one could bring a twisted fate to that person.
@@mrpopo2822 Amazons are not real or were real. Trust me it’s myth within a myth, and if they did exist I’m certain a horde of men decimated them cause there is no evidence of them. I’ve never heard of any matriarchal society that survived. It’s a man’s world and women have rights because of men, not the other way around. This world is patriarchal.

@@Moszan The part where they said the ancient Amazonians can be compared to modern day women fighting for feminist causes. They're not comparable, but it's politically correct to claim they are.
The video is sugar coated since the very start since it blends the mythical amazons with aspects of their real life equivalent while also describing them as "champions of women rights" which they totally weren't. They were first warriors and only secondly women. And as a warrior tribe they also did some nasty stuff to non warrior women or children like all warriors do. Also the women on Lemnos were not amazons nor were they abused. They were cheated y their husbands with foreign women. And not for nothing. The lemnian women failed to give proper worship to Aphrodite who made them stink. So their husbands didn't liked them at all!
