Amazonas, mujeres guerreras en la mitología / Amazons, Warlike Women in Mythology: La Historia Del Mito Desde La Grecia Antigua,

The myth of the Amazons comes from Ancient Greece. The ethnographic data on these equestrian warlike women influenced the Greco-Roman philosophy; went to the Islamic and Christian world, and reached the New World, where a river honors these female beings due to a confrontation between Spaniards and Indian women, whom they confused with Amazons.
