YOUR GREAT GRAND YAYIA FROM YOUR YAYIA’S SIDE SHARES HISTORY WITH THE MYTH OF THE AMAZONS. THE MYTH IS NOT SO MUCH AS A MYTH BUT IS ACTUALLY BASED MORE IN REALITY. HERCULES NINTH LABOUR WAS TO FIND HIPPOLYTE’S MAGIC GIRDLE. THE AMAZON WOMEN CAME FROM THE AREA JUST NORTH OF WHERE CRIMEA IS TODAY. THEY SETTLED IN THE AREA IN THE SOUTH OF THE BLACK SEA WHICH TODAY IS KNOWN AS KNOWN AS CAPPADOCIA, THAT IS WHERE YOUR GREAT GRAND YAYIA CAME FROM. THERE IS ACTUALLY A REAL CITY CALLED themyscira SO THE ENTIRE MYTH OF WONDER WOMAN HAS A BASIS IN THE GREEK MYTHS OF THE AMAZON WOMEN. DO NOT CONFUSE THE AMAZON RIVER IN SOUTH AMERICA WITH THE AMAZON MYTH BECAUSE THE AMAZON RIVER WAS ACTUALLY NAMED IN SOUTH AMERICA IN TRIBUTE TO THE ANCIENT GREEKS’ AMAZON MYTH. THE ORIGINAL AMAZON RIVER IS TODAY CALLED, THE RIVER TANAIS, WHICH FEEDS THE LAKE JUST NORTH OF CRIMEA. YOUR HISTORY IS SO DEEPLY RICH AND YOU SHOULD BE VERY, VERY PROUD OF IT! IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE LABOUR’S OF HERCULES, READ THIS LINK. I THINK YOU WILL ENJOY IT!
