Amazonomachy scene, from Daphne, a suburb of Antioch-on-the-Orontes, second half of the 4th century CE, Louvre Museum. Image from Carole Raddato’s flickr.

“The Amazones of the Doiantian plain [by the river Thermodon on the Black Sea] were by no means gently, well-conducted folk; they were brutal and aggressive, and their main concern in life was war. War, indeed, was in their blood, daughters of Ares as they were and of the Nymphe Harmonia, who lay with the God in the depths of the Akmonian (Acmonian) Wood and bore him girls who fell in love with fighting.”

-Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 2. 986 ff (trans. Rieu) (Greek epic c. 3rd BCE)
