The term "Amazon" is often used to describe any warrior women. But the authors of this book (journalist Olga Kolobova and archaeologist Valery Ivanov, writing under the pseudonym Oleg Ivik) have dedicated their work to real Amazons: women credited by ancient authors with founding their own militarized states within the ecumene. They will also explore the Scythian and Sauromatian warrior women—their histories are too closely intertwined with those of mythological Amazons.

The authors do not offer an answer to the question of whether the Amazons actually existed. But they have endeavored to present an engaging and reliable account of what they have learned about this tribe from ancient authors and modern archaeologists.
