Amazon is a demon appearing in the series.
History[]
The Amazons are a nation of all-female warriors in Classical and Greek mythology. Herodotus placed them in a region bordering Scythia in Sarmatia (modern territory of Ukraine). Other historiographers place them in Asia Minor or Libya.
Notable queens of the Amazons are Penthesilea, who participated in the Trojan War, and her sister Hippolyta, whose magical girdle was the object of one of the labors of Heracles. Amazonian raiders were often depicted in battle with Greek warriors in amazonomachies in classical art.
In one particular myth, they are believed to be the daughters of Ares, the god of war, which would explain their warrior physique. In consequence, Ares is said to be patron deity along with Hera. Some Amazons were also believed to cut off one of their breasts, making them a-mazos, or "without breast," to make use of the bow and arrow without hindrance.
The Amazons have become associated with various historical peoples throughout the Roman Empire period and Late Antiquity. In Roman historiography, there are various accounts of Amazon raids in Asia Minor. From the early modern period, their name has become a term for woman warriors in general.
