SARMAT SAVAŞÇILARININ EĞİTİMİ

Bozkır insanı için konar göçer hayat tarzı bir öğretici idi. Sürüler otlatılırken yaylaktan kışlağa, kışlaktan yaylağa gidilip gelinirken başak bir uğraş alanı ise avcılıktı. Ancak hayat tarzı sürü otlatmak ve avcılıktan da ibaret değildi. Çeşitli sporlarla uğraşmakta ve bazı durumlarda akınlar y...

"About the Sauromatae, the story is as follows. When the Greeks were at war with the Amazons (whom the Scythians call Oiorpata, a name signifying in our tongue killers of men, for in Scythian a man is “oior” and to kill is “pata”), the story runs that after their victory on the Thermodon they sailed away carrying in three ships as many Amazons as they had been able to take alive; and out at sea the Amazons attacked the crews and killed them. But they knew nothing about ships, or how to use rudder or sail or oar; and with the men dead, they were at the mercy of waves and winds, until they came to the Cliffs by the Maeetian lake; this place is in the country of the free Scythians. The Amazons landed there, and set out on their journey to the inhabited country, and seizing the first troop of horses they met, they mounted them and raided the Scythian lands.

The Scythians could not understand the business; for they did not recognize the women's speech or their dress or their nation, but wondered where they had come from, and imagined them to be men all of the same age; and they met the Amazons in battle. The result of the fight was that the Scythians got possession of the dead, and so came to learn that their foes were women.

Therefore, after deliberation they resolved by no means to slay them as before, but to send their youngest men to them, of a number corresponding (as they guessed) to the number of the women. They directed these youths to camp near the Amazons and to imitate all that they did; if the women pursued them, not to fight, but to flee; and when the pursuit stopped, to return and camp near them. This was the plan of the Scythians, for they desired that children be born of the women. The young men who were sent did as they were directed. When the Amazons perceived that the youths meant them no harm, they let them be; but every day the two camps drew nearer to each other.

Now the young men, like the Amazons, had nothing but their arms and their horses, and lived as did the women, by hunting and plunder. At midday the Amazons would scatter and go apart from each other singly or in pairs, roaming apart for greater comfort. The Scythians noticed this and did likewise; and as the women wandered alone, a young man laid hold of one of them, and the woman did not resist but let him do his will; and since they did not understand each other's speech and she could not speak to him, she signed with her hand that he should come the next day to the same place and bring another youth with him (showing by signs that there should be two), and she would bring another woman with her.

The youth went away and told his comrades; and the next day he came himself with another to the place, where he found the Amazon and another with her awaiting them. When the rest of the young men learned of this, they had intercourse with the rest of the Amazons. Presently they joined their camps and lived together, each man having for his wife the woman with whom he had had intercourse at first.

Now the men could not learn the women's language, but the women mastered the speech of the men; and when they understood each other, the men said to the Amazons, “We have parents and possessions; therefore, let us no longer live as we do, but return to our people and be with them; and we will still have you, and no others, for our wives.” To this the women replied: “We could not live with your women; for we and they do not have the same customs. We shoot the bow and throw the javelin and ride, but have never learned women's work; and your women do none of the things of which we speak, but stay in their wagons and do women's work, and do not go out hunting or anywhere else. So we could never agree with them. If you want to keep us for wives and to have the name of fair men, go to your parents and let them give you the allotted share of their possessions, and after that let us go and live by ourselves.” The young men agreed and did this.

So when they had been given the allotted share of possessions that fell to them, and returned to the Amazons, the women said to them: “We are worried and frightened how we are to live in this country after depriving you of your fathers and doing a lot of harm to your land. Since you propose to have us for wives, do this with us: come, let us leave this country and live across the Tanaïs river.” To this too the youths agreed; and crossing the Tanaïs, they went a three days' journey east from the river, and a three days' journey north from lake Maeetis; and when they came to the region in which they now live, they settled there. Ever since then the women of the Sauromatae have followed their ancient ways; they ride out hunting, with their men or without them; they go to war, and dress the same as the men. The language of the Sauromatae is Scythian, but not spoken in its ancient purity, since the Amazons never learned it correctly. In regard to marriage, it is the custom that no maiden weds until she has killed a man of the enemy; and some of them grow old and die unmarried, because they cannot fulfill the law."

-Herodotus, The Histories 4.110.1

wonder woman fic recs

Since I finally watched my copy of Wonder Woman at home yesterday, it feels like the right time to do a round up of some of the fic I’ve read and loved. I really haven’t read much of what’s out there, though, so WW recs are always welcome!

@darlingpeg gave us this lovely moment between Diana and Antiope.

katsumi on AO3 has written a sweet and funny series, a future we didn’t dare hope for, in which Steve Trevor comes back into Diana’s life very suddenly.

Siria’s written a bunch since the movie came out, lucky us! Two of my personal faves are oiorpata (GA), a beautiful piece featuring Antiope and the founding of Themyscira, and constellations (M), a brief wondertrev interlude set that night in Veld.

The inimitable @roboticonography has contributed two wondertrev pieces that are worth your time:

Grace and Motion (M) is about that night in Veld: “But maybe, he thinks, this is a kind of lesson too—a lesson in trust, in honesty, in kindness. A lesson in love. He isn’t qualified to teach that lesson, but Diana clearly is.”

Every Road You Take (T+) sees Steve and Diana on a lazy Sunday morning in modern-day Paris. 

And, if you’re looking for something basically guaranteed to make you cry, @sevensneakyfoxes‘s something left behind (T+) is the post-movie fic for you. (Well, it’s that fic for me, anways.)

Title: oiorpata Author: Siria Fandom: Wonder Woman 2017 Characters: Antiope, Queen Hippolyta, Menalippe Pairing: Antiope/Menalippe Summary: Their first day on Themyscira, they buried their dead.

Antiope honoured her sisters’ loss, and she wept for them, and she lent the strength of her back and her hands to the raising of a great burial mound for them. An Amazon’s hands knew the heft of a bow better than they did a shovel, but no matter. Antiope’s calluses would suffice for both.

Title: Beyond Belief Author: thingswithwings Fandom: Wonder Woman 2017, Agent Carter Characters: Diana of Themyscira, Peggy Carter Pairing: Diana/Peggy Carter Summary: Diana finds her for the first time in 1947, underneath a rather heavy pile of fallen masonry.

She delves into the research, and finds long-quiet leads in old accounts of the Great War. A woman who showed up suddenly at the front, whom bullets could not harm. A woman who liberated a village almost single-handedly, wielding a golden lasso. An angel, the accounts said: a goddess who came down from heaven and drew the German fire on herself to spare the lives of the soldiers beside her. The accounts are all myths and legends, fairy tales really, of a kind she’s become used to from soldiers and veterans. Believing in magic makes war easier; Peggy knows that herself from experience. Technology is the simpler explanation, be it biochemical or weapons technology.

She wants the truth. She wants the story without the magic. She wants facts that she can rely on.

She finds Sameer Maroc.

Title: Hello, Piccadilly, Hello, Leicester Square Fandom: Wonder Woman 2017 Author: beatrice_otter Status: Work in Progress Characters: Diana of Themyscira, Etta Candy Summary: Diana can’t go back to Themiscyra. She can only go forward into a new world and a new life.

Etta knew before they made it back, that Steve was dead.

“But we could not call or send a message,” Diana said, brows furrowing.

Etta sighed and took the strange woman’s hand. “That’s how I knew, dear. Steve was the one with all the codes … and Steve was the one most likely to be able to charm himself the use of someone’s phone or telegram office if those codes didn’t work.”
