The Amazons, the female warriors of Greek myth, existed as a real historical people.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 6 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Amazons, the female warriors of Greek myth, existed as a real historical people?

Partly. Scholarly reference works describe the Amazons as figures of Greek myth and report that many classical scholars consider them purely fictional, while a 1910 newspaper report claimed Iron Age tombs of female warriors were historic proof they existed. The evidence covers the claim only in part and does not settle whether the Amazons were a real historical people.
