Note: The Amazon's Iole is equippped with a crescent shaped shield (pelta); Antiope leads a horse and holds two spears; Penthesilea follows with a bow and quiver. The beauty of Penthesilea and Antiope dazzled Theseus and Achilles, respectively.
Amazons are depicted with slacks, pants or pantaloons and with long hair. Depictions of combat between Greeks and the Amazons often show the Greeks pulling Amazons by their hair (see another).
