Rising above the myth, The Libyan Amazons unravels historical accounts of ancient civilizations to chronicle the lives of Myrina, Queen of the Libyan Amazons, and her tribe.

The Libyan Amazons & the Conquest of Continents traces the many conquests of these earliest Amazon women warriors - not just of local North African tribes but stretching from the Atlantic coast deep into Europe and beyond.


Based on writings and clues left behind by their ancestors and supported by maps and illustrations, it painstakingly recreates the world of these ancient "Wonder Women."


From their rise to power to their poignant downfall, follow their extraordinary journey across continents and millennia, tracing the footsteps of these powerful women. What began as a book on ancient military history evolved into a thirty-year quest to find the real women behind the myths.



Drawing on ancient texts and modern discoveries, Mr. Candelore explores answers to who these women were, where they came from, how they lived, and how they became so fierce and powerful - and ultimately, how they died.
