Sobre IBD

The myths and legends surrounding the Amazons, the warrior women made famous by the poets of ancient Greece, especially by Homer in the Iliad, are fascinating. Stories of a warrior tribe of women, who lived in a lesbian society, removed one of their breasts to make the use of a bow easier and fought the likes of Hercules, Theseus and Achilles, have largely been rejected as folklore. Recently some exciting discoveries have been unearthed in the region where these fierce warriors were supposedly from, and have shown that these myths of fierce women who rode horse-back and let loose their arrows when at a gallop, are founded in reality.
