Amazon Warrior

Although when talking about Amazon now, the first thing that comes to mind is the giant that sells e-books. In fact, Amazon has a deep connection with Greek mythology

The Amazons can be said to be The first generation of feminism under the blessing of a straight male cancer god.

In Greek mythology, there is an Amazon tribe composed entirely of women in the Pontus region. This setting sounds as beautiful as the Daughter's Kingdom in Journey to the West, but in fact it is much more cruel than the Daughter's Kingdom ruled by the scorpion spirit.

The women in this tribe are not just ladies, they are all female warriors who are more fierce than men.

You must know that the ancient Greeks were quite straight. In Herodotus's "History", it was recorded that the ancient Greek soldiers and Amazon female warriors were at Thermodon in the Black Sea area. , after all, Greece was a country at the top of the food chain at that time. Even though the attack power of the Amazon female warriors was much higher than that of a single Greek army, they were still defeated in front of the Greeks who were well equipped and knew how to form troops.

Transported back to Athens.

Theoretically, this story should have ended, but the protagonists are those Amazon female warriors with unparalleled combat power and beautiful bodies. Although Herodotus briefly mentioned what happened on the ship, Fink speculated that , Greek soldiers who are naturally romantic and repressed for a long time can hardly resist the beautiful bodies marked as prisoners of war

As everyone knows, these beautiful bodies are not ordinary women who do not know how to resist. In short, these Amazon female warriors will escort them All the Athenians! department! kill! die! Got it! Then they drifted to Scythia, where they cut down the Scythians and re-established a daughter country.

After all, Herodotus was still a very sophisticated historian, and his description of the Amazons was relatively implicit. However, the ancient Greeks who knew Herodotus as a storyteller 600 years ago were not so Neutral.

The ancient Greeks were human beings who relied on their words to stand at the top of public opinion. Athens was once occupied by the Amazons and of course they were defeated not long after. How could this shame and humiliation not be recorded well?

Hence the rumor that the Amazons mutilated their breasts. The noun Amzon itself is derived from the Greek word Amazoi, where A=without (without) and mzon=breast (breast). How could the ancient Greeks miss such a word play?

In their description, in order to be able to shoot arrows, the Amazon female warriors cut off the right breast that was easily obstructed when drawing the bow.

Although even the Greeks’ own sculptures portrayed the Amazons as large-breasted images with both breasts, it was enough to ridicule the Amazons and make them appear to be uncivilized barbarians. .

No matter how you look at it, you don’t think that having breasts will affect your archery, but this has become a label for Amazons. The Greeks are so scary with their mouths.

However, artists with aesthetics naturally retained the twin peaks of the Amazon female warrior that she should be proud of, and accepted the other characters as they were.

Greek mythology is not as subtle as Oda described it. When the Amazons need to continue their family line, they go to nearby areas to find men and force them to marry with them.

If a boy is born, he will basically be killed. Occasionally, a few will be kept as seeds (believe me, you will not want to be used as seeds); if it is a girl, they will be happily used as seeds. Raised.

In addition, it is not so easy to set out to find men. Only by killing a man on the battlefield can they be qualified to find men to reproduce.

If you look at it this way, do you think Oda is a critic? In fact, in addition to this large-scale setting, the plot of the Daughter Kingdom in One Piece is exactly the same as Greek mythology.

In Greek mythology, the Amazons have a queen. You must know that the person who can become the queen in Greek mythology is definitely not an ordinary person. For example, this queen Hippolyta is the god of war Ares. )'s daughter (this is why the God of War sided with Troy in the Trojan War. After all, the Greeks were the daughter's mortal enemies).

This Ares is the straight male cancer god I mentioned at the beginning. He directly skips the standard fighting steps of "what are you looking at, what are you looking at". If you want to taste some blood today, you will immediately open up The murderous and violent god is basically a demon king in cartoons (such as Saint Seiya) and games. In addition, he is also a god with double standards (of course the Olympic gods basically have this problem. If you have a chance, Finke will explain it. Said)

For example, if your daughter is seduced, (it’s just seduction, it doesn’t matter), you just kill the big brother and don’t care at all that this is the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea. Anyway, it’s a big deal. He hugged Zeus's father's leg; but he ruthlessly cuckolded the god of fire and had sex with Aphrodite (Venus), the goddess who symbolizes love and beauty.

As a straight man, Cancer always likes to look for his younger brother, and throws the blame on his younger brother after something goes wrong. Ares’ younger brother is the very poor night god Alectryon. Ares He was sent as a lookout when Venus had an "intimate contact" with Venus, and then Alectryon fell asleep very proudly, causing Ares to be captured alive by the God of Vulcan, so the generous Ares His little brother turned into a chicken.

Of course, don’t blame Venus. After all, Venus is the god of love and beauty. In short, she is a control. However, although her husband Hephaestus, the god of fire, is known as the god of forging, But he is extremely ugly, and Ares is famous for his good looks. Venus really has good intentions in order to protect love and beauty.

As the daughter of Ares with good looks, the Amazon Queen is naturally extremely beautiful. This is exactly the same as the empress set by Oda (the empress was once a slave of the Celestial Dragons. Is it the supreme power of the Celestial Dragons in One Piece? It’s a reference to the Olympic gods).

Although the God of War was bloodthirsty and violent, he was still kind to his children. For example, he left his daughter Hippolyta a golden belt, which later became the source of the quarrel between the Amazon people and the Greeks.

I said before that the Olympic gods have double standards. For example, Zeus's eldest wife, Hera, did not punish Zeus for cheating on her, but she wanted to murder Zeus's lover and children.

Of course, a high-level boss like Hera has a 99.99% chance of being eradicated, while the Hercules has a 0.01% chance of being eradicated.

In short, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. The ruthless Hera could not make Hercules live easily. She made Hercules go crazy and killed his wife and children. After waking up, Hera Gris was in agony. You must know that although Zeus was very carefree, his illegitimate son Hercules was very single-minded. He was entangled in three marriages in his life, and only after his death became a god, he married again.

He had almost never cheated on each other during his marriage. Hera asked him to kill his beloved first wife Megara. The self-destructive Hercules regained his strength with the help of engine oil. Prepare to complete the 12 tasks of Eurystheus in order to atone for your sins.

One of these 12 tasks is to get Hippolyta's golden belt. At this time, Luffy's face appeared in my mind

Genes cannot be changed. Ares, the god of war, is a face-controller, and his daughter Hippolyta is naturally a face-controller; Zeus himself He is handsome, Hera is the most beautiful woman in heaven, Heracles and Alcmene, who can cheat Zeus, are even more beautiful. With genes like this, Hercules is destined to be a very good-looking man. So high that Hippolyta wanted to give Hercules the golden belt symbolizing power.

The face of the Empress who had an unrequited love for Luffy appeared in my mind again.

Isn’t it Hercules and Hippolyta who are so unrequited in love that they can agree to any request?

Of course, the queen Hera would not make it easy for Hercules, so she The Amazons spread rumors that Hercules was going to kidnap their queen. You must know that the taunting skills used on the Amazon female warriors are 100% accurate, so a group of Amazon female warriors went to besiege Hercules.

Hercules is a man with the aura of the protagonist, how can he die easily, so he let the Amazon female warriors who surrounded him easily die. At this point, the feud between the Amazons and the Greeks was finally settled.
