1MYTH AND IMAGINATION
Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to discuss about the myths of Greece or Rome. The Greek
myths are regarded as the incidents or the stories that are told in the Greek mythology. The
myths are indeed important resources for thee life to follow. The myth that has been chosen here
in this paper is that of the Amazon women recorded in the Greek myths. People in this world
believe in several things and they lead their life by believing in certain things (Bremmer, 2014).
Sometimes these certain things are made up of some of these myths.
The people generally read out these myths in their childhood and get impressed by them.
They try to follow those myths in their lives forever. This is how these mythical stories get into
the proper spotlight. The Greek tradition of the myths is a very useful source for the development
of the certain ideas. The chosen tradition of the Amazon women is an explicit example of the
women empowerment that could be transformed into the modern society. Some moral lessons
could also be learnt from some of these myths. This myth has been very useful for arousing the
interest of all the people for its brave tradition (Napoli, 2014).
Discussion about the myth
In this myth the idea about the chosen myth will be presented. According to the Amazons
myth of the Greek mythology, these women have been considered as one of the bravest and most
courageous women in the history. They have been regarded as the ancient tribal women who
were independent (Bremmer, 2014). They believed that they wanted to be the free people as they
were mighty ones. They also get out of the male-dominated society to be the masters of their
own will. The term ‘feminism’ might have come from their struggles only. This is why they are
considered as the first extreme feminists (Powell, 2012).
