These women lived free from men, as nomads on the Steppes of Euro-Asia and Scythia. The Greek hero warriors Achilles and Heracles fought them in desperate epic battles. Up until now, these women warriors were thought to be just Greek myths. But in her book, The s, author Adrienne Mayor examines fact and myth and reveals the truth about the s. The word "" was originally a name the Archaic Greeks used to designate little-known steppe peoples.Physically, women are not as robust as are men. However, the horse, the bow and the sword are equalizers, permitting women to compete as equals with men. This then was how Barbarian women (meaning they did not speak Greek) were raised from childhood, as equals who could ride and shoot as well as any man. In the wilderness of the Scythian steppes this was necessary for defence from wild beasts and marauding tribes.s were masters of the horse. They each owned many. They especially coveted the Akhal Teke horses of the Ferghana Valley. Each horse was decorated with gold and leather ornamentations. The s drank fermented mare's milk (Koumiss) as a staple. They made their own weapons; bows, arrows, swords, knives and battle axes. They fashioned crescent shields for defence.s did not worship the Greek pantheon of gods and godesses. Many worshipped Ares and cybele. They also worshipped a sacred black rock on (Giresun) Island in the Black Sea.The Greeks encountered them as they explored eastward into Asia, notably along the Black Sea routes. The s formed liasons with king Priam of Troy against the Greeks. Mithradates took an for a confidant and wife. Alexander the Great encountered them and even took one to bed as well. Greek historians like Herodotus and hippocrates documented these tales. Though with Herodotus, he often mixed myth with history. Stories about the Hippolyte and her battle with Heracles, and the Antiope's battle with Theseus or Penthesilea with Achillles at Troy have amazed and delighted us for ages. More than 1000 Greek vases depict various scenes of s in battle or in their daily living.The Romans too encountered s. Pompey fought battles with s. He captured some of them and brought them back to Rome as evidence of his conquests. They were paraded through the streets before being returned safey to their home lands.The s had no written language. It seems body art and tatoos were their identities. They chose deer, elk, sheep, tiger, birds and all manner of creatures to be imprinted on their skin. The Greeks, in comparison, viewed tatooing as some form of punishment.The Egyptians, Persians and other nations too encountered s, giving added credence to their existance.Much archaeological evidence has been discovered affirming existance. Many kurgans (grave mounds) have been excavated revealing lavish grave goods including bronze, gold and silver along with their various articles of cloting and weapons. Their horses were buried with them. It is thought that the s invented pants.s were pot smokers. They had kits consisting of tents, bowls and hemp (pot) which were used to get a high. These also were found in Kurgans.s were associated with the Scythians, Sarmatians and various other tribes, however, not all of them chose to live without the company of men. Some groups contained all women, others were mixed. They all dressed alike so it probably impossible for the Greeks and Romans to tell them apart. Even those s who chose to live apart, often would "visit" the men in order to procreate. It was rumored they would keep and raise the girls while sending back the boys for their fathers to raise.Adrienne Mayor has written a masterful, well researched volume of the s depicting every facet of their existance and of those they associated with or fought against. I really enjoyed reading it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Would recommend!By Kindle CustomerOne of the best non-fiction books I've ever read. I am totally fascinated by it, and so sad that we have lost so much history about these amazing warrior women. It's an academic book, but it doesn't read like one. I wish I had more time to sit and read the whole thing - right now I'm reading bits of it as I wait to pick up my kids from school and it's hard to put it down again!I have the electronic version of it, but this is one that I wished I had bought as a hard copy so that the pictures would be in the right spots and because I would love to mark it up by hand and put notes in the margins (not quite the same on a Kindle).I didn't realize how much I never knew about these women until I got this book. If you love history or are interested in s - definitely check this one out.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.It's very useful to me because she qualifies every speculation about s ...By NonaThe s by Adrienne Mayor gives us solid, scholarly evidence for the lives of Scythian and Thracian women in the 1st Millennium BCE. It's very useful to me because she qualifies every speculation about s in the historical and literary texts from the Classical Greek, Hellenistic and Roman eras with the physical evidence. Although these women evidently led harsh lives, it is uplifting to see evidence of freedom and a relative gender equality between men and women SOMEWHERE in the ancient world. I'm recommending it to everyone!See all 56 customer reviews...
