Restorations: the arms. The Amazons were a race of warrior women who inhabited the territory of the Caucasus. Some believe that the name means that they were not nursed at the breast, or were without breasts, or because each had her right breast cut off that it might not impede the drawing of the bow; others that it is derived from the Caucasian word for Artemis, the Moon, of which Deity they were the priestesses, and suggest that the injury to the breast may be accounted for by the laceration of the body in the paroxysms of their religious orgies. This is supposed to be a copy from one of the bronze statues placed in the Temple of Diana at Ephesus, spoken of by Pliny. In order of merit they stood thus that of Polyclitus, first; of Phidias, second; of Ctesilaus, third; of Cydon, fourth; of Phradmon, fifth. : ii. 241.
