Скифские амазонки: состояние изученности

Abstract

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.
