According to some sources of Ancient Greek and Roman historiography, the "mythical" Amazon Female Warriors originated in Pontus, a location which is today a part of Turkey's Black Sea Region. Inspired and compiled from the texts of "History" by Herodotus, "Iliad" by Homer, "Promotheus Bound" by Aesychylus ,"Argonautica" by Appollonius Rhodius, "Library of History" by Diodorus of Sicily, "The Fall of Troy" by Quintus of Smyrna, "The Gothic History" by Jordanes, "Geography" by Strabo and "Hippocratic Collection" by BC Pseudo-Hippocrates, the film ANDROKTONES retells the Amazons Female Warrior myths in the Turkish language, through the contradicting words of a female and male narrator.
