Where did you get this list?? Is It period?
The two list I have are different. The Marchese Tommaso II of Saluzzo
list a bunch of Amazons. Jacques Iverny painted This list in 15th
century.
Semiramis, Lampheto, Marpasia, Synoppe, Thamiris, Menalippe, Hippolyta,
Orithyia, and Penthesilea
The other list I have is from a late 16th century Heraldry book
Deborah, Judith, Jael (Jewish)
Minerva, Semiramis, Thamiris (Classical)
Matilda of England, Joanna of Naples, Isabel of Spain (Christian)
