DoomsdaysCW<p>[Thread] So, my "homework" assignment has to do with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Amazons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amazons</span></a> -- one of my favorite topics to focus on (since I was 11 years old). I was recently gifted a new book about Amazons, and also had one that I picked up for myself years ago, but hadn't gotten around to reading yet. The books are: "The Amazons: Lives and Legends of Warrior Women Across The Ancient World" by Adrienne Mayor (2014), and "Amazons: The History Behind the Legend" by David Braund. Both of them are Classics scholars, but they seem to have completely different takes on Amazons (from what I've read in the reviews). And yes, I am planning on diving into both books, but first, I'm going to work on my own translations of certain passages in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TheIlliad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheIlliad</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Herodotus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Herodotus</span></a>' "Histories"!</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Classics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Classics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Histodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Histodon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AncientGreece" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AncientGreece</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BronzeAge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BronzeAge</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WarriorWomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WarriorWomen</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AncientHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AncientHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenInTheAncientWorld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomenInTheAncientWorld</span></a></p>
