In the ancient realm of myth there is
the account that in prehistoric times
the island Lemnos (Limnos) was only
inhabited by women. This island was
called gynaikokratumene, which
means reigned by women. In the
Greek myth about the Argonauts a group
of men comes to this island on their way
to the land of Colchis (in the East of
the Black Sea). According to this
account this island was only inhabited
by women, a queen named Hypsipyle
ruled over this women's state. It is
interesting that the women of Lemnos
received the Greeks kindly. These women
of Lemnos lived as self-confident
Amazons on this island, their aim of
life was not focused on fighting against
men.
Quite obviously, this myth reflects
former matriarchal life on this island.
The name of the capital of Lemnos is
Mirina. According to the ancient
mythical tradition the first outstanding
Amazon queen was named Myrina
