text: According to Greek mythology, The Amazons were a nation of women dwelling about the river Thermodon. They were, as a race, considered to be the children of Ares and Harmonia II. \nThe Amazons of Libya were much earlier in point of time and disappeared entirely many generations before the Trojan War; but those about the Thermodon river were in their full vigour a little before that time. \nThe Libyan Amazons were also known for having waged war against the people of Atlantis, the most civilised men of the region, who dwelt in a prosperous country and possessed great cities.
