List of Amazons

The Amazons were a group or race of female warriors in Ancient Greek mythology.

Most of them are only briefly named in one or two sources, either as companions of Penthesilea at the Trojan War, or as being killed by Heracles during his 12 labours.

These include Alcippe, Asteria, Celaeno, Deianira, Eriboea and Tecmessa.

John Tzetzes gives in his Posthomerica a list of Amazons who went with queen Penthesilea to the Trojan War and were killed in battle: Anchimache, Andro, Androdaixa, Antianeira, Aspidocharme, Chalcaor, Cnemis, Enchesimargos, Eurylophe, Gortyessa, Iodoce, Ioxeia, Oistrophe, Pharetre, Thorece, Toxoanassa, and Toxophone.

[2] Quintus Smyrnaeus, in his Posthomerica, also gives a list of the companions of Penthesilea at Troy who were killed there by the Greek warriors.
