Note that the Amazons were not Greek in the (very few and sparse) sources we have. Apparently the Greeks thought of them as Scythians or Sarmatians, which to them were the catch-all terms for the peoples central Asian peoples they primarily encountered on the north and east coasts of the Black Sea.

Apparently the warrior women held a fascination for the Ancient Greek psyche, because they were a popular subject in myth and especially art. Note that many of those earlier sources depicted them with trousers, likely because horseback riding was much more important in Central Asia than in Greece.
