Answer 1

If I recall there were stories of the amazons fighting during the Trojan war. The author Homer spoke of these women. They were purported to remove one of their breasts so that they could shoot a bow and arrow better.

Answer 2

The Amazons most likely never existed. Also, anyone who feeds you that idiotic crap about their name existing because they cut one (or both) of their breasts off for purposes of archery or javelin throwing is just ignorant.

"That brings us to the question of whether the Amazons were real or just mythological. It's a mystery how the Thermodon in modern Turkey became so closely associated with Amazons. Other than the ancient Greek writers, there is no real evidence of a warrior-woman tribe living near there. Two groups of mounted nomads did live in the area--the Scythians, who moved down from the north, and an earlier wave of nomads called the Cimmerians. There is no good evidence that Cimmerian women were ever warriors, but archaeological evidence unearthed in the Ukraine in the 1950s suggests some Scythian women may have been. However, the evidence dates to the 4th century B.C., by which time Scythia was no longer closely associated with Amazons in the the Greek mind.

A third group of nomadic herdsmen, either an offshoot of the Scythians or a related people, comes closer to filling the bill. As far as we know, they never lived on the Thermodon, but from the 6th to the 4th centuries B.C. they lived east of the Don and north of the Caucasus in modern Russia and Kazakhstan. These were the Sauromatians, whom Herodotus said in the 5th century were the descendants of Amazon women and Scythian men. In their lifestyle and language they were similar to the Scythians, but during the time in question, the place of women in society was different. In the last decade or so, archaeological evidence has been mounting that Herodotus was right about at least some Sauromatian women being warriors. But there is no evidence that they were descendants of a manless tribe of women, from the Thermodon or elsewhere."
