religious cults associated with the amazons

Book cover
The Amazons were votaries of Cybele, Artemis under the surnames Ephesia, Tauropolos, Lyceia, and Astrateia, Apollo called Amazonian, and Ares. The striking feature of the list is the homogeneity of its components. This is no fortuitous circumstance, for the authors from whom it has been compiled are many, and they belong to widely separated generations. The list represents classical opinion, both Greek and Latin, on the nature of the divinities whom the Amazons were conceived to have served.
Florence Mary Bennett offers the research of the possible religious beliefs of the Amazons. Upheld by primary documents the author gives an account of what is known about ancient goddess worship; of the legend of the Amazons and many of the goddess cults of ancient Greece and Asia Minor (Turkey).
