AMAZON WOMAN ARCHERS:
Legend says these warrior maidens ruled over a large part of Asia Minor. They
worshipped Mare Goddess Demeter and wolf-running Artemis, and may have been the
first culture to tame horses. Much feared by the post-patriarchal Greeks, most
Amazon images were destroyed to instill the subordination of women. Reclaim her!
[Etruscan, British Museum, c. 480 BCE]
