В статье рассматриваются три основных направления в исследованиях скифских амазонок, связанных с разноплановыми источниками, раскрывается степень их изученности.
Scythian Amazons have attracted the attention of
researchers since a long time. The Amazons as the subject
is developed in three main directions, conditioned
by the choice of a certain group of sources — literary,
pictorial and archaeological.
The literary and visual aspects have been developed
quite thoroughly by many generations of researchers,
as evidenced by the representative corpus of monographs
and publications. Both these directions developed
in parallel, often intersecting.
