175 Andromache ANDROMACHE 'man fighter'

One of the greatest of all the queens of the Thermodontine Amazons. Known for her bravery, she was consistently victorious in battle. Ruling with Glauke 'owl,' and Iphito 'shield strength' whom she also fought with side by side, her most famous conflict was with a horde of Greek pirates. The battle was later known as the
First Doric Raid. Andromache successfully united the Thermodontine and Libyan Amazons against the invaders, resulting in a Libyan blockade that prevented the arrival of Greek reinforcements. At the height of the battle, she fought with
her hair unbound, insuring that she remained a clear rallying point for her forces, and that no false claims could be made that she had died.

90 Antiope- married Theseus, the only amazon to leave the amazons for marriage
133 Cyrene(xena) Amazon queen
107 Camilla-little comb,' fiery one,' 'drinking vessel'
Great ancestress of the Volscians of ancient Latium, an Amazon queen who was suckled by a mare and grew into a great hunter and runner. Fighting bare breasted and loose haired in the grand tradition of successful Amazon leaders, her honour guard included Larina, Tulla, Tarpeia, and Opis (all named for demoted Goddesses). She led the fight against the invaders led by Aeneas.

48 Doris-Amazon Warrior 'bountiful' spear wielder
156 Xanthippe 'yellow horse' sabrer Amazon Warrior

271 Penthesilea 'compelling men to mourn' Queen of Amazons sister of Hippolyta
Daughter of Kleite or Orithia, ruler of the Thermodontine Amazons with her sister Hippolyta and Antianeira, who eventually succeeded her. She had Thrakian roots, and this along with a call for help from the besieged queen of Troy led her to lead a small force to the city's aid. The Amazons temporarily freed the city, and Penthesilea killed Achilles, leader of the Myrmidonian Greeks. Contrary to some claims, he was not brought back to life again. He was named for a mythological figure representing the half of the year when the Sun waxes, while Agamemnon fills in for the waning Sun.

I'd be interested to know if you had previously felt drawn to the story/myth/theme of the Amazons.

Oops: Well, I see now you mentioned you didn't know of these. It IS very interesting. I also didn't know there were so many individual figures with distinct stories.

It is definitely intriguing. Though occasionally I've seen something on Amazons on The History Channel or something, it makes me annoyed that all of this is still not part of our general "mythical"/ historical knowledge-base. I mean--look at those stories! ...Something to look forward to, we can hope.

Hippolyta CONJ Mercury (<1)
Hippolyta CONJ Galactic Center (<1)

Antiope CONJ Venus (<1)
Antiope CONJ Union (<2) (The only one to get married -- ha!)

Xanthippe TRI Venus (<1)

Palma SEXT Sun (<1)

Penthesilea OPP Mercury (<1) (Interesting. I've often felt an old theme for me is having been stabbed in the back, somewhere long ago, by someone I trusted. I've had to consistently work on that one, as it then repeated in later lifetimes.)

Hippolyta OPP Penthesilea (<1)

Cyrene CONJ Penthesilea (<2)

Andromache CONJ Moon (<3)

...Fascinating!

But what made you look at them in your chart?

I admit to have always been sort of amazed at this myth. How first of all they cut one of their breast (breast being a femininity symbol) and how they rely on themselves to protect their land and fight. I don't admire their aggressiveness that much but the fact that they're independent to the point where they only need men to reproduce has always amazed me.

Both sext ASC

Doris conj Haumea
Palma opp Queen's

Penthesileia

I remember Penthesileia's myth differently in that she was killed by Achilles, but assume that as usual there are several versions running around. What's that about Palma, too? The text doesn't make it clear what the Andromeda-galaxy thing with it is supposed to be.

The Amazons temporarily freed the city, and Penthesilea killed Achilles, leader of the Myrmidonian Greeks. Contrary to some claims, he was not brought back to life again. He was named for a mythological figure representing the half of the year when the Sun waxes, while Agamemnon fills in for the waning Sun. They dueled in order to show off their skills to the Moon Goddess Briseis. Of course she chose the waxing Sun at Winter Solstice and the waning Sun at Summer Solstice. The tale was grafted into the story of the fall of Troy. In any case, the next battle led to Troy's defeat. Penthesilea was killed by treachery, stabbed in the back by one of the infamous priests of Apollo who had betrayed the city. Again contrary to popular belief, Penthesilea was
not part of last flair of greatness from a dying Nation. Homeric Troy fell around 1200 BCE, a full six centuries before the official political demise of the Northern Amazon Nation. What she probably does represent is the beginning of the retreat of Goddess worshipping peoples in Asia Minor in the face of continuing violence from invaders.
