#Amazon moments series
Amazon High, never took off as a series but some of the pilot was included in the Xena episode “Lifeblood”.ģ. Stewart and Rob Tapert, the creators of Xena, wrote and filmed a pilot about a teenage girl who get’s transported to the past and forms the beginnings of the Amazon nation. On the show they were portrayed as scattered tribes throughout the ancient world with different laws, customs and celebrations similar to the indigenous peoples of our world. Time and again the duo would cross paths with the Amazons throughout the series. That honor went to her cherished friend Gabrielle, who was given the Right of Caste by a dying Tereis (a princess, you see) in “Hooves and Harlots”, then had to take her rightful place as Queen in “The Quest”, and even lead them into battle in “Dangerous Prey”. Yes, Xena was a warrior princess and she often crossed paths with the Amazons but she wasn’t an Amazon. Their other famous inhabitants were General Philippus, Antiope, Artemis and Donna Troy. Diana was their princess and greatest champion. She was raised and trained by Amazons! It was the Amazon myth that inspired William Moulton Marston to create comics most important supershero and he envisioned the Amazons as an advanced civilization of warriors who believed in wisdom before weapons and peace above war. She is an Amazon! She comes from Themyscira (which really was the name of the island in the Greek myths and was believed to be Asia minor in real life). Well duh! Wonder Woman is always the first thing that comes to mind when someone says amazon. Here are 7 works featuring those battling beauties of yesteryear – and the future. Science Fiction and fantasy on the other hand always believed in Amazons – as great story potential. Previously thought of as just a myth made up by the ancient Greeks, newly unearthed archaeological evidence proves that Amazons and warrior women actually existed. For me the ultimate symbol of female empowerment are the Amazons, those legendary women famous for practicing the arts of hunting and battle and all female societies.
As you know, March is Women’s History Month (or should it be Women’s Herstory Month?).
