In Greek mythology, Amazons were often portrayed as the ultimate "other." They were the daughters of Ares, the god of war, and their behaviour was designed to contrast sharply with the domestic expectations of women in Athens.

Unlike the stoic Greek hero, the Amazon was often depicted in a state of wild fury, her chattering voices and fierce strikes representing a primal, untamed force of nature.
