Chapter 228 – Trial of Eight, Amazoness (1)
The first image that comes to mind when thinking of Amazon is, of course, ‘the lungs of the earth’.
I know the large-scale jungle and jungle in South America as the Amazon.
But another meaning comes to mind.
Amazoness.
Female warriors.
Amazon warriors.
No, then Greece was influencing as far as South America?
Did people enter the Amazon from Greece before Pangea opened and the Americas and Europe fell apart, before the two lands fell apart and the Atlantic Ocean was formed, just as Gaia’s pussy split apart?
It wasn’t like that.
It was just that the pronunciation was similar, and the land the Amazons guarded was not the Amazon, but a different place.
“So, in the Scythian region to the east, there is a forest area called the Amazon, and the women who live there create a kingdom of only women and live?”
“Okay.”
Theseus, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, gave me a lecture about the Amazon.
We invited Theseus to our newlyweds’ house, and Theseus visited us with a rather tall man wearing a deep robe.
“Ah-Mazos. I know you don’t like complex things, so to put it simply, it means those who cut off one breast.”
In Greek it is
Ah-Mazos.
One breast missing, right breast removed.
The people referred to by such words were the Amazons, and the area they lived in was the Amazon.
It is located in the east of Greece.
If you think about the original history, it was roughly located on the way to Central Asia.
It’s quite far, but it’s not impossible to go.
And there is no reason or justification not to go.
More than I knew.
“They kill every male child born. Are you sure?”
I know.
That the information Theseus brought was true.
That’s my background knowledge.
Even in the days of Zeus, I knew that such people existed.
At that time, since I was a god, I was thinking that I shouldn’t intervene in the human world, so I didn’t intervene.
However, now that I have come to know this, the human Hercules is different.
The only problem that Zeus can directly intervene in the human world is the homogay problem.
There was no intention of interfering with women gathering together and living a closed life with only women’s kingdom established.
If they tried to occupy other kingdoms and dominate men based on their hatred of men, they would take it as a provocation against Zeus, the male god, and the titan goddesses would have done it.
The Amazoness’ actions were particularly ambiguous to intervene as a god.
But I can intervene.
Humans interfering with human culture does not go against the rules and principles of the world, and above all, it is justified because we learned about it through Theseus.
“How did you find out about that?”
However, it is not easy to trust Theseus’ words.
“I know you need my help, but I can’t go far away leaving my wife with unconfirmed information.”
“I know. That’s why I brought it.”
Theseus pointed to his side.
“Greetings. It’s okay. You’re the only friend I can entrust your back to.”
If it was like before, his expressions would have been rough, but Theseus has gotten older, so his expressions his have become gentler.
“…Can I trust you?”
“Yes. I don’t know what rumors are like, but rumors are often distorted. This guy, despite his rough appearance, is a tougher fighter than anyone else.”
“Because you say it… I believe it.”
Is not it?
Are you just trying to look manly to the girl next to you?
Then.
“Let me introduce myself first. Nice to meet you. I am Hercules. The greatest and strongest monster hunter in Greece, the husband of Megara, the princess of Thebes, the sire of the regent Creon, and the nephew of the king of Mycenae – Eurystheus.”
In order to improve Theseus’ side, I have no choice but to act decently.
FYI, Mycenae changed its king.
As I got married to Megara, my grandfather stepped down from the throne, and after that, a being like my uncle took over and rules Mycenae.
“Best in Greece…”
“The Nemean lion, the hydra, the wild boar of Erymanthus, the bronze bird of Styphalus, and the man-eating horse of King Diogenes.
“Oh, I’ve heard of hydra. What a… Warrior.”
The woman’s eyes sparkle.
Anxiety flashed in Theseus’ eyes for a moment, and I immediately recognized the kind of woman this woman was.
“Theseus. Who is this?”
“Ah, um… One of the four queens of the Amazones, Queen Antiope. And…”
“I am the wife of Theseus.”
“Five.”
Taking off her hood, Antiope greeted me first.
With impressive red hair, she was the image of a typical female warrior, and she was a woman with a bodyguard-like feel.
Such a woman, the queen of the Amazons, calls herself Theseus’ wife?
“Congratulations. I wonder if I can call you sister-in-law.”
“Tongue, sister-in-law…”
“Just tell me, sister-in-law. Heracles, I’m ready to step out of my way if my friend is in trouble. If it’s Theseus, not anyone else.”
Actually, Theseus was looking at ‘Why does this guy treat me like this?’, But he soon withdrew his eyes and smiled.
“Okay. Then let’s get down to business. All I want to ask of you is to go with me to the Amazon. And subdue the queens there.”
“Repress?”
“I’m going to have Antiope as her queen, but the Amazons think of me as a queen kidnapper. So…”
Theseus briefly summarized the situation.
“…So let’s collapse the Amazon?”
What a rush.
“There’s an Amazon queen right next to you, so what’s the point of destroying the Amazon?”
“Because the Amazon is a place that must perish.”
Antiope slashed her own throat with her determined face.
“I saw the world outside the Amazon, and I realized that the kingdom that kills just because you were born with a cock on it must disappear from this world.”
“…You’re too aggressive.”
“Even if it’s extreme, someone, someday, will have to do it. Otherwise, the Amazons will break out of the forest, invade neighboring countries, steal seeds from the men, and kill them.”
“In other words, will you eat men, get pregnant, and then kill all men?”
“Yes. All the women in the Amazon are warriors with that mindset.”
“Ooh.”
Dangerous.
Killing them all is a bit mind-boggling though-
“The warriors of the Amazon call themselves Daughters of Agalia.”
“Ah.”
Suddenly, something like the congestion in a corner of my mind disappeared.
“Theseus. Queen Antiope. All right. I will cooperate. But one thing, I will make sure.”
I lowered my voice and bluffed the two of them.
“The fact that Hercules is out there means he can kill everyone. The Amazon will be destroyed, but is that okay?”
“…Yes.”
“Even if that’s from the Amazon’s point of view, you’ll be cursed as a being who betrayed your homeland for the rest of your life?”
“Yes. I am determined. Not as an Amazoness, but as Theseus’s wife.”
Antiope must have been blinded by love.
“Okay. That’s just fine. There’s something I wanted to check on as well. Megara?”
I called Megara, who was quietly listening to the story in the kitchen.
“I have a place to go to for a while.”
“Come back soon. While you’re gone, I’ll be preparing as much as possible.”
Ready.
It is probably the ‘probability’ of Hercules and Megara.
It’s a pity that we have to be apart for a while, but even Me and Mega needed time for each other.
It’s not because it’s menopausal.
“Okay. Then, go to the Amazon.”
Destination has been set.

Shoot it
While leaving Thebes and heading east by boat, I heard from them about the Amazon.
History, customs and culture of the Amazons.
As I was well aware, the Amazons had a culture of ruthlessly killing even male children when they were born.
Female supremacy.
A country where only women live in a kingdom, and women do everything.
But isn’t it necessary for a man to have children?
Regarding the question, Antiope gave a very simple answer.
“You catch a man who has lost his way into the woods, cuts off his limbs, eats him on a horse, and burns him with fire when he dies?”
“Yes.”
“That’s true.”
Hunt the man and extort the seed, and that’s it.
The Amazons had no concept of sex.
There was no such thing as an activity for men and women to enjoy, only thinking about reproduction.
Even that is only breeding for women.
“That’s serious. Are you saying that the whole kingdom is a country of non-virgins?”
“Yes.”
“Well…”
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but Antiope was the first time.”
Theseus immediately went to defend Antiope.
“I checked it myself.”
“Five…”
“Before Antiope was an Amazoness, she was the queen of Athens.”
“Okay. Haa, but there are only non-virgins…”
“That.”
Antiope opened her mouth very carefully.
“It may have changed since I left, but…”
“Is there?”
“My sister, Hippolyte…May be a virgin.”
Oh.
