Abstract

IV In his investigation of origin myths Patrick Geary makes the point that the Amazons' 'defeat or destruction marks the beginning or reconstitution of the proper order of the world'.35 Geary states that the literary representation of Amazons may imply two kinds of criticism: women in arms could be intended as evidence of male failure to rule properly, but they could also, in the Christian tradition, be read as a symptom of paganism.
