I see a lot of Medieval imagery in the Elfwood fantasy galleries, and of course, I love to see it. Still, I think that sometimes I'd like to see other eras represented, so here's my Ancient Greek attempt.

My plan it to add a bust of Pallas Athene on the pedistal she's leaning on, thus making her a more proper 'Athenian Amozon.'

Ink on cheap paper, original 11x17 inches.

"somethng that she really ought not have here" - one of her breasts? ^-^ Ouchies... I could never be an Amazon.

Amazons supposedly had their left breast removed so that they could better use their bows.

Amazons DIDNT actually cut off their left breasts, its really amazing how many people thought that they did. Still, they didn't, so leave the picture as it is!!
