 Amazons
Their name derives from the Greek word amazoi, meaning "single-breasted," because of the customary practice of young Amazon girls having their right breast seared off to improve their aim and draw with a bow.
They were also sometimes called Antianeirai, "those who fight like men," and Androktones, "man killers."
Descended from the war god Ares and the sea goddess Harmonia, Amazons were known and feared for their ruthlessness and savagery in battle.

In "The Friendly Ambassador: The Beginning of the End," the Edenite Breda forms a strong and close relationship with the Klysanthian Clyemne who is involved in her rescue, and fears her potential loss at the hands of the pursuing Keruh.
The Androktone characters have great appeal in this respect.
They may not be as strong as the Androktones, but they are equally fearless and equally at risk, and they are also genuine and kind.
