Great video! What I find interesting about the Amazons is how they have entered pop culture as figures of myth, but their stories aren't very well known. If you asked the average person on the street who the Amazons are, they would immediately say "a tribe of mythical warrior women," but if you asked for a specific story about them, they wouldn't know any.
@schrodingersmooseАй бұрын
That's a good point. Most of the time they are used as an archetype or trope in fictional media, not really basing things in a specific story. The only exception I can think of is Hippolyta because of her connection to Hercules and Theseus, but even that is fairly niche.

~4:09 "Without Breast" is actually an Ancient Greek folk etymology! They didn't know where the word actually came from (it was likely a loan word), so some Greeks came up with some guesses, and someone figured it sounded kinds like "a- (without) mazos (breast)." The story about them cutting off a breast may have been retroactively invented to explain why they would be called that (early Greek artwork never shows them with missing breasts). We still don't know for sure where "Amazon" came from, but it might be a loan from an Iranic word for warriors, "ha-mazan," though the existence of this word is not attested in writing, only inferred from other Persian terms with the same root.

Thank you for the explanation/correction! Even more reason to question some ancient sources then. I wasn't aware of the ongoing debate, though I should have been. I'll pin this comment.

Sweedish king was saved by Latvian peasant from Vidzeme who gave king his horse and stood between king and Reke (I do not remember withch one. Tiss was father and Matias was known as Devil Reke later marriing elizabeth fon Medem. If I recall it correctly.). So the peasant was granted freedom and land in Vidzeme from Sweedish King.

To be precise, Kettler was a vasal of Lithuania. On the basis of the Treaty of Vilnius (28 November 1561), he created the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia as a vassal state of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and after the Union of Lublin Duchy of Courland and Semigallia became a condominium of Poland and Lithuania. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotthard_Kettler

Inb4 self hating people start talking about "muh slaves". Ethnic Latvians, and Estonians didn't do anything with colonies we were old school serfs: No voting rights No land ownership rights Only taxes Basically indentured servants, like during black Americans in post slavery era south. I need to constantly remind that Latvians didn't regain their rights until Kiev congress and 19th century abolishment of serfdom in Russian Empire
