Ἀμαζόνιος) was a cultic epithet of the Greek god Apollo, under which he was worshiped, and had a temple at Pyrrhichus in Laconia.
The name was derived either from the belief that the mythological Amazons had penetrated into the Peloponnese region as far as Pyrrhichus, or that they themselves had founded Apollo's temple there.
[1][2] The sole known reference to this etymology, in Pausanias' Description of Greece, is an oddity in the study of the Amazon mythological tradition.
[3] It is strange to hear of the Amazons in Laconia, a region in no way associated with the usual tale of their invasion of Attica.
Pausanias suggests a large Amazonian army halted there, which is also at odds with the Boeotian mythological tradition which indicates only a few Amazons were separated from the host after their defeat by Theseus.
