Strabo, the first opponent


Strabo highlights one of the major features of the myth of the Amazons that does not distinguish what comes from the fable of what belongs to reality, unique when it comes of a people . The difference between these two types of stories being by the presence or absence of fantastic and wonderful elements in the course of these stories, the Greek geographer so here denounced what he viewed as purely imaginary, mostly the facts that people, women continue to exist and  he arrives to fight his neighbors, to overcome the same, and the height of implausibility, that these warriors were able to cross the Cimmerian Bosporus to attack Athens. In fact, Strabo's argument is based solely on the idea that he and his Greek contemporaries are women just before the Christian era, and we see that not only incapable of any will to judge self-determination and independence, but also the least ability to defend or attack their opponents militarily. The progression of rhetorical questions Strabo ends with a kind of misogynistic irony: "Is it not as if one said that men of old were women, and women from men? "Strabo does not just make the Amazons women masculinized by their independence and success of their military enterprises, but also feminine men they would have beaten or subjected, if they would have used to precisely" persist ". Through these words well feel the fear doubled aversion felt by the Greeks for these barbaric and warlike beyond, to all forms of gynecocracy and matriarchy.












a coin found in Croatia on area of ancient Liburnia presents an Amazon on a horse.
Inscription CRE.V.V
This coin is genuine but not LISTED because it does not belond to any known ruler.
Cre is for HOR a woman and Liburnia lasted up to 5th century AD, old people still remember them and stories about Liburnian Amazons, men was not allowed there.
people that do still tell that tales are todays Croatian people.

 Real Phrygian or Brygian is a she.
In the times represented on this vase males joined Amazons, they are so called "first sons" or parthenogenetic sons.
Male modeled phrygian helmets had beard on the cheeck peace.


16 pointed Venus star occured during Macedonian Empire, it was blatant usurpation of the 8 armed star of Venus.

Daughter / D'AUTRE as "the Other " or "else"


It is, paradoxically, Simone de Beauvoir in 1949 in its Second Sex , taxed the theories of Bachofen of "rants". The woman has always been "the Other ", it could not be for man, a similar likely to access the role of subject, historical agent, and therefore, a fortiori , the political and social power. It relies on authority that was then Claude Lévi-Strauss and concludes that "in truth this golden age of the woman is a myth."











 LABRYS, Amazon Axe and dismissive wRITIng
ALAPATE as Amazons called Labrys being made unrecognisable in ancient Macedonian script or often being adjusted to fit the Bible. This is not the first case of "lost in translation" or "fitting the Bible" syndrom I found, there is way to much to be coincidence.

Bulgari or Valkyrie existed in Myrmidonia
today Bulgarians have NO RIGHTS to claim the name.

(it says here that Achilles trained Myrmidonian Bulgaryans for Trojan wars)
Besides, Nordic myth about Valkyrie describes Helm-Balkan area around todays Bulgaria, as the enemy approached nearer peacefull cultures scattered deeper and norther in Europe and took tales with them which only proves common ancestry of entire Europe. Kurgans followed and raped and killed deeper and norther in Europe, see "Viking stones of shame"

Besides Eda sounds like Veda











































Thus, since Strabo, the Amazons have attracted a large number of reflections and above controversy, concentrating primarily on their real existence but confirming or refuting it with arguments based essentially on their differences, the nature and likelihood. The fact that women have been able to live alone, independently, plunges man in such discomfort that he is compelled to be, in illo tempore , to massacre as quickly any emerging female people guilty of combining these two unbearable otherness, barbarism (otherness) and femininity, or, in historic times, to spread best the idea of a wonder, such a fanciful fable than Centaurs or the Sirens, because such a difference (the woman equal to man, or even greater, and / or could live without it) needs to be implausible.
