(Amazon series #1) Otrera: Queen Mother          Otrera (Ow-tee-reh-ra) is the queen mother of the race of Amazons. In some versions she is the initial offspring of the union between Ares and the nymph Harmonia, while in others she is the consort of Ares from which the Amazons are born; with such notable daughter heroines being Hippolyta, Antiope, and Penthesilea, among others.

Otrera and the Amazons are credited with founding the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, which was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world for its massive scale. Here, Queen Otrera and the amazons placed a statue of Artemis under an oak tree and held an annual war dance in celebration of Artemis. Some Amazons, devout followers of Artemis, and similar to the heroine Atalanta, vowed a life of chastity.

Appolonius of Rhodes describes the Amazons locations as the island of Dia, a desert island full of ravening birds in the black sea where the Amazons held their shrine to Ares. In the Argonautica, reaching the island, Jason and the heroes encounter the “Birds of Ares” which rain down feathered darts but are driven away by the loud racket of clanging armor. 

The hero and giant slayer, Bellerophon, falsely accused of raping Queen Stheneboea, is sent to King Iobates of Lycia as punishment. As typical in these tales, the king wants to strategically remove the hero, and sends him on the impossible task of fighting the Amazons and Killing Queen Otrera, to punish the Amazon’s for their roles in supporting the Trojans in the war for Troy. Although not named, it’s believed that Otrera dies by Bellerophon’s hands in battle.

South of Greece, across the Mediterranean Sea, exists an older race of Amazons Led by the Amazon Queen Myrina in the desert lands of Libya of North Africa. The Queen conquers surrounding tribes with her 30,000 Amazon foot soldiers, 3,000 cavalry, and shields and armor made of giant snakeskin. Their horseback archery skills were unmatched, and were masters of the Parthian Shot, (hitting targets behind, while riding away).

Invading the lands of the Atlantians, Queen Myrina treated the conquered cities savagely, slaughtering the boys and men, and enslaving the women and children, until the neighboring cities accepted Myrina as ruler. Myrina also defeat another neighboring race of warriors called the Gorgons, who Medusa later leads against Perseus. She continues her quest into Egypt, befriending the god king Horus, son of Isis. Journeying East she conquers the Arabians and Syrians and founds cities along the way. Myrina is finally killed in battle fighting Thracian and Phrygian warriors, and the Amazons, suffering high casualties, are forced to retreat back to Libya in defeat.

This episode of North African Amazons comes from Diodorus Siculus, in his book “The Library of History,” (1st century B.C.) Diodorus seems to be an outlier from other ancient authors in placing Amazons in North Africa. In addition, the Atlantian civilization he mentions is not the lost mythical island of Atlantis made famous by Plato, which authors place in the Atlantic ocean, just west of the Pillars of Herakles (strait of Gibraltar).

The Thracians, said to derive from a son of Ares, were a race which thrived on the west coast of the black sea in modern day Turkey and Bulgaria, and they were known as allies of the trojans at Troy. The Phrygians resided in Anatolia and the Southern Balkans, and were said to have fought with King Priam of troy against the amazons. King Midas, cursed with his golden touch, was a Phrygian king.
