Check out the link for info about real Amazonian women. Saw the show a few years ago, and I still find it fascinating.

I had read that the Greeks called them Amazos or Amazons because "a" with "mazos" meant without breasts. Some translators stated that the women really didn't have one or both breasts, whereas others stated that the girls were raised on lizards, insects and snakes (no breast milk)... I had also read that Amazonian women only kept their female babies, but if the mother cried out in pain during childbirth, the female baby was put to death. Yikes!!!
What do you know about the Amazons? Do you think they really existed?
