What Did the Amazons Do with Male Children?

Published in Amazonian Practices 1 min read

The Amazons, renowned as a society of formidable female warriors and hunters, returned their male children to their fathers.

Their unique societal structure was closed to men, meaning they did not raise sons within their community. Instead, they focused solely on raising their daughters, nurturing them in physical agility, strength, archery, riding skills, and the arts of combat. Interactions with men were limited to brief periods primarily for reproduction, after which any male offspring were sent away to their fathers.

This practice ensured the continuation of their female-centric society, dedicated to the development and empowerment of women.
