Tector:
Didn't Amazon warrioresses only have one nipple, 'cos they cut one breast off so as to shoot a bow better? Or so the story goes.
Yes, but that is probably only a story, the blodloss after such a massive amputation would have caused the amazon´s death for sure. Besides; girls kan shoot bow and arrow excellently with both tits intact !
The spanish conquistadors claimed to have encountered a tribe of female warriors on their first journeys along the river they named Amazonas for that reason. That tribe has not been seen since - Perhaps just another myth or perhaps the spaniards misstok small-grown indians for women.
The "real" amazons in history seem to have lived in Asia Minor where graves have been found containing females who have been buried togetheter with their swords, bows and other weapons. The bones has injuries from combat. Their men were buried with - mirrors !
These female warriors was contemporary with the ancient greecs who feared them, and invented all kind of ridiculous stories about them.
