It's true Gal Gadot, who played her is a very beautiful woman..

But the whole idea of the Amazons from Antiquity is astounding! Of course they were fearsome warriors who lived in a matriarchy which seemed to work but was doomed to failure because like our societies there was no living accord between men and women.

Their nearest neighbours, I think I'm right in saying, became the Scythian peoples from whom descended the Celts, and Sarmations, two peoples with equally viciously capable women. But all doomed because of the Age they lived in and the progress of Western thought through the Dorians and Ionians of Greece.
