Book Synopsis A Brief History of the Amazons by : Lyn Webster Wilde
Download or read book A Brief History of the Amazons written by Lyn Webster Wilde and published by Robinson. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Golden-shielded, silver-sworded, man-loving, male-child slaughtering Amazons,' is how the fifth-century Greek historian Hellanicus described the Amazons, and they have fascinated humanity ever since. Did they really exist? For centuries, scholars consigned them to the world of myth, but Lyn Webster Wilde journeyed into the homeland of the Amazons and uncovered astonishing evidence of their historic reality. North of the Black Sea she found archaeological excavations of graves of Iron Age women buried with arrows, swords and armour. In the hidden world of the Hittites, near the Amazons' ancient capital of Thermiscyra in Anatolia, she unearthed traces of powerful priestesses, women-only religious cults, and an armed, bisexual goddess - all possible sources for the ferocious women. Combining scholarly penetration with a sense of adventure, Webster Wilde has produced a coherent and absorbing book that challenges preconceived notions, still disturbingly widespread, of what men and women can do.

Download or read book The Last Amazon Warrior Women written by E. Z. E. King EKE and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They were a fierce tribe of women warriors who had terrorized half a continent for centuries until colonizing French forces arrived the coast of their fertile homeland. The female warriors battled the vastly superior French armies to a standstill, pinning them to the coast for several months. In the end, they lost, but did not surrender. They regrouped and went marching out of their homeland, never to be heard of or seen again. They were The Last Amazon Warrior Women tribe on earth according to history. Three hundred years later.... It was an old myth that struck terror in the hearts of the natives who had lived in the region for generations, keeping them away from the great mountains, The Forbidden Mountains. It was the myth of The Demon daughters of Blood and Death. Some tales had it that they were evil demons, others portrayed them as terrible women warriors, descendants of ancient Amazon warrior women. No one really knew the truth except that they haunted the heavily forested lands and valleys that lay within the vast mountains and brought instant death to all who ventured there. Even the authorities of the two countries bordering the region wouldn't go into those mountains. Everyone stayed away as they had done for centuries. When the joint team of American and African Special Forces commandos arrived at the foothills of the remote Northern Cameroonian Mountains, after tracking an Islamic State killer squad across two continents, they heard the stories, the myths and legends. They knew the vast region was completely unknown territory, very rugged and inaccessible, made extremely dangerous by the presence of the deadliest terror group in the world. The commandos were backed by the CIA who wanted something the terrorists had stolen; something the Russians, Israelis, Iranians, and the Syrians wanted just as badly. Eight Special Forces commandos went in, the best of their kind. Nothing prepared them for the strange things they found in the great unknown that was The Forbidden Mountains. Danger was at every step, death at the end of every trail, and then... a terrible legend came alive before their eyes. It engulfed them. The Last Amazon Warrior Women (The complete series) is history, mystery, romance, action, and adventure rolled into one of the most fascinating terrorist thrillers you'll ever read. This is three Amazon warrior stories in one book, raw and pure. You can't get better.

Download or read book The Amazons written by Adrienne Mayor and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-09 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The real history of the Amazons in war and love Amazons—fierce warrior women dwelling on the fringes of the known world—were the mythic archenemies of the ancient Greeks. Heracles and Achilles displayed their valor in duels with Amazon queens, and the Athenians reveled in their victory over a powerful Amazon army. In historical times, Cyrus of Persia, Alexander the Great, and the Roman general Pompey tangled with Amazons. But just who were these bold barbarian archers on horseback who gloried in fighting, hunting, and sexual freedom? Were Amazons real? In this deeply researched, wide-ranging, and lavishly illustrated book, National Book Award finalist Adrienne Mayor presents the Amazons as they have never been seen before. This is the first comprehensive account of warrior women in myth and history across the ancient world, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Great Wall of China. Mayor tells how amazing new archaeological discoveries of battle-scarred female skeletons buried with their weapons prove that women warriors were not merely figments of the Greek imagination. Combining classical myth and art, nomad traditions, and scientific archaeology, she reveals intimate, surprising details and original insights about the lives and legends of the women known as Amazons. Provocatively arguing that a timeless search for a balance between the sexes explains the allure of the Amazons, Mayor reminds us that there were as many Amazon love stories as there were war stories. The Greeks were not the only people enchanted by Amazons—Mayor shows that warlike women of nomadic cultures inspired exciting tales in ancient Egypt, Persia, India, Central Asia, and China. Driven by a detective's curiosity, Mayor unearths long-buried evidence and sifts fact from fiction to show how flesh-and-blood women of the Eurasian steppes were mythologized as Amazons, the equals of men. The result is likely to become a classic.

Book excerpt: Ever since they vanished from existence long ago, myths and legends of the Amazons and Amazon warrior women abound, but the most fascinating of them all was never told, the story of the last Amazon warrior women, the strongest of all the Amazon nations.The story of the Amazons, the last Amazon warrior women, began in the early 1700s but ended just 200 years later after their armies lost a bitter long war against the French troops that invaded their fertile homeland. The Amazons never surrendered but simply vanished, never to be seen or heard of again.Two centuries later, something happened.It all started with a phone call intercepted by an American warship but swiftly led to the launch of a top-secret mission by the CIA, America's Central Intelligence Agency, along with the Military intelligence agencies of two top West African nations. Their target... the remote Northern Cameroonian Mountains.For two centuries, the heavily forested Northern Cameroonian Mountains hid terrible secrets that scared people away and none dared to go there. The government and military forces of the two countries in which the vast region lay stayed away completely and not even the fierce primitive native tribes whose ancestors had fled the region long ago would go there. The natives told ancient tales about the mountains, calling it by three names, the Forbidden Mountains, the Land of Death, and the Land of the Daemon Daughters of Blood and Death.Eight Special Forces commandos were sent in and their target was a group of the deadliest terrorists in the world who had supposedly gone to ground in secret caves within the mountains with a stolen Russian weapon that threatened world peace.The commandos were among the best fighting men in the world, but nothing prepared them for the strange things they found in the great unknown that was the depths of those mountains, and standing between them and their objective is an undiscovered civilization of terrible Amazon warrior women, an entire nation of extremely beautiful women who killed men on sight.The Last Amazon Warrior Women series is history, mythology and legend rolled into a fascinating work of fiction that features... endless adventure, tales of many battles, strange love stories, wicked and evil women, supernatural and magical powers, a game of throne, international expunge and spy trades, terrorism, and much more.Tags: amazon warriors, amazon warrior women, warrior women, amazon lives and legends, female warriors, amazon adventure, amazon attack, evil women, wicked women, commando series, witchcraft mystery series, wicked lovely, spy, spy novels, terrorists.

Book Synopsis Last of the Amazons by : Steven Pressfield
Download or read book Last of the Amazons written by Steven Pressfield and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Steven Pressfield's The Profession. The author of the international bestsellers Gates of Fire and Tides of War delivers his most gripping and imaginative novel of the ancient world–a stunning epic of love and war that breathes life into the grand myth of the ferocious female warrior culture of the Amazons. Steven Pressfield has gained a passionate worldwide following for his magnificent novels of ancient Greece, Gates of Fire and Tides of War. In Last of the Amazons, Pressfield has surpassed himself, re-creating a vanished world in a brilliant novel that will delight his loyal readers and bring legions more to his singular and powerful restoration of the past. In the time before Homer, the legendary Theseus, King of Athens (an actual historical figure), set sail on a journey that brought him into the land of tal Kyrte, the “free people,” a nation of proud female warriors whom the Greeks called “Amazons.” The Amazons, bound to each other as lovers as well as fighters, distrusted the Greeks, with their boastful talk of “civilization.” So when the great war queen Antiope fell in love with Theseus and fled with the Greeks, the mighty Amazon nation rose up in rage. Last of the Amazons is not merely a masterful tale of war and revenge. Pressfield has created a cast of extraordinarily vivid characters, from the unforgettable Selene, whose surrender to the Greeks does nothing to tame her; to her lover, Damon, an Athenian warrior who grows to cherish the wild Amazon ways; to the narrator, Bones, a young girl from a noble family who was nursed by Selene from birth and secretly taught the Amazon way; to the great Theseus, the tragic king; and to Antiope, the noble queen who betrayed tal Kyrte for the love of Theseus. With astounding immediacy and extraordinary attention to military detail, Pressfield transports readers into the heat and terror of war. Equally impressive is his creation of the Amazon nation, its people, its rituals and myths, its greatness and savagery. Last of the Amazons is thrilling on every page, an epic tale of the clash between wildness and civilization, patriotism and love, man and woman.
