Cette image est réalisée à partir de fractals que j'ai dessinées, et d'une illustration POSER, réalisée par mes amis DESIDERIUS et LADONNA. After some problems with the upload, here the first Freebie Desiderius and me (Ladonna)want to share. It is a ring set for V4.2 http://dreamslayervisions.com/forum/index.php?action=store;sa=view;id=41 Selon la légende, les Amazones habitent les rives du fleuve Thermodon, en Cappadoce dans l'actuelle Turquie. Elles tuent leurs enfants mâles ou les rendent aveugles ou boiteux, pour ensuite les utiliser comme serviteurs. Quand aux femmes, elles coupent leur sein droit pour faciliter le tir à l'arc. Pour assurer la perpétuation de leur civilisation, elles s'unissent une fois par an avec les hommes des peuplades voisines dont elles choisissent les plus beaux. Les attributs des Amazones sont le πέλτη / péltê, un bouclier léger en forme de demi-lune, la lance, l’arc et les flèches propres aux cavaliers des steppes, le cheval et la hache — σάγαρις / ságaris d'abord, puis double hache à partir de l'époque hellénistique, par exemple chez Quintus de Smyrne. Le signal avant la bataille est donné par le sistre (sorte de grelot) généralement de bronze. De nombreux héros grecs — Bellérophon, Achille, Héraclès, Thésée ou encore Priam — ont eu affaire à elles. Curieusement, chacun eut sa reine à aimer et, finalement, à tuer. Achille affronte Penthésilée venue secourir les Troyens, s'en éprend et la tue dans le même temps. Priam, le vieux roi troyen, a lui-même repoussé une invasion amazone. Héraclès doit s'emparer de la ceinture d'Hippolyte et finit par massacrer cette dernière, ainsi que ses compagnes. The Amazons appear in Greek art of the Archaic period and in connection with several Greek legends. They invaded Lycia, but were defeated by Bellerophon, who was sent against them by Iobates, the king of that country, in the hope that he might meet his death at their hands. The tomb of Myrine is mentioned in the Iliad; later interpretation made of her an Amazon: according to Diodorus, Queen Myrine led her Amazons to victory against Libya and much of Gorgon. They attacked the Phrygians, who were assisted by Priam, then a young man. Although in his later years, towards the end of the Trojan War, his old opponents took his side again against the Greeks under their queen Penthesilea "of Thracian birth", who was slain by Achilles, in the Aethiopis[8] that continued the Iliad. One of the tasks imposed upon Heracles by Eurystheus was to obtain possession of the girdle of the Amazonian queen Hippolyte. He was accompanied by his friend Theseus, who carried off the princess Antiope, sister of Hippolyte, an incident which led to a retaliatory invasion of Attica, in which Antiope perished fighting by the side of Theseus. In some versions, however, Theseus marries Hippolyta and in others, he marries Antiope and she does not die. The battle between the Athenians and Amazons is often commemorated in an entire genre of art, amazonomachy, in marble bas-reliefs such as from the Parthenon or the sculptures of the mausoleum of Halicarnassus. source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazons
