=== Trojan War, Achilles ===
In the lost Greek epic ''[[Aethiopis]]'', which was published in the 8th century BCE and is widely attributed to [[Arctinus of Miletus]], Achilles fights and kills [[Penthesilea]], the queen of the Amazons who came to aid Troy after the death of Hector. The oral myths and retellings of this epic fall of Troy referencing the Amazons contributed to Homer's ''[[Iliad]]'' and ''[[Odyssey]]''.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |last=Dowden |first=Ken |date=1997 |title=The Amazons: Development and Functions |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/41234269 |journal=Rheinisches Museum für Philologie |volume=140 |issue=2 |pages=97–128 |jstor=41234269 |issn=0035-449X}}</ref>
