L'evento
The Amazons. The eternal myth of warrior women on the back of a fiery horse, the bow in the fist, the muscular legs in the storm, the grim gaze on the delicate faces. Beautiful, young, determined, ready to defend their independence with sword or shooting of arrow. When they are still children, the mothers press a special device of hot bronze against that part of the body and this burn inhibits the growth of the breast.
The force thus feeds the right shoulder and right arm. The Amazons. The eternal myth of warrior women on the back of a fiery horse, the bow in the fist, the muscular legs in the storm, the grim gaze on the delicate faces. Beautiful, young, determined, ready to defend their independence with sword or arrow shots. Homer called them "equal to men" and this, in patriarchal Greek society, was a sign of respect.
