grbs-5901	Shapiro, H. A.	Amazons, Thracians, and Scythians	1983	12	.pdf	application/pdf	4934	192	64	An encounter with Amazons figures among the exploits of three important Greek heroes, and each story entered the Attic vase­ painters' repertoire at a different time in the course of the sixth century. The appearance of 'Thracian Amazons' and 'Scythian Amazons' in vase-painting not only offers some insight into Greek ideas about Amazons at a time when literary sources are silent, but also raises the possibility that the Amazonomachy was seen as a mythical prototype for certain historical events long before the post-Persian decades when it most conspicuously played that role.9 4 Neck-amphora, London B210: ABV 144.7; W.
