In 1250 BC, Theseus, king of Athens, encountered a nation of proud, passionate warrior women the Greeks called "Amazons". Bound to each other as lovers as well as fighters, the Amazons were outraged when their queen fell in love with Theseus, and raised a terrible army to march on Athens.

***************************************************

TO THEM HONOUR AND LOYALTY WERE EVERYTHING...

1250 BC
: Theseus, king of Athens and slayer of the Minotaur, set sail on a journey that brought him to the land of 'tal Kyrte', the 'Free People', a nation of fiercely proud and passionate warrior women whom the Greeks called 'Amazons'.

Lovers and fighters they owed allegiance to no man and distrusted the Greeks with their boastful talk of cities and civilization. When their illustrious war queen Antiope fell in love with Theseus and fled to Athens with the king and his followers, so denying her people, the Amazon tribes were outraged. Seeking revenge, they raised a vast army and marched on Athens.

History tells us they could not win, but for a brief and glorious moment, the Amazons held the Attic world in thrall before vanishing into the immortal realms of myth and legend.
