In Greek mythology, the Amazons are portrayed in a number of ancient epic poems and legends, such as the Labours of Hercules, the Argonautica and the Iliad. They were a people of female warriors and hunters, who matched man in physical agility and strength, in archery, riding skills and the arts of combat. Their society was closed for men and they only raised their daughters and either killed their sons or returned them to their fathers, with whom they would only socialize briefly in order to reproduce.
