Penthiselea would and did amaze the ancient due to her struggle against her own nature. She was an incredibly beautiful woman who preferred to be admired for her strength and bravery rather than her looks. She was the Queen of the Amazons. Boccaccio in his book “De mulieribus claris” says that Penthiselea fell in love with Hector without even seeing him. Hearing of the Trojan War she travelled to Troy leading troops of fellow Amazons to fight by Hector’s side against the Greeks. Penthiselea, as a woman warrior was admirable not only for her “external”, but also “internal” struggle. The ancient thought that as a woman, although capable, physically should not be able to compete against any man. Yet her determination prevailed. Boccaccio, an Italian medieval-renaissance writer concludes: “Some may be surprised that women, even when armed, may have the courage to attack men. However, we will be less surprised when we see that custom can become human’s second nature. That is why the Amazons were much braver than the men, to whom the nature gave the strength, but who, through their idleness, became women or rather helmet-wearing hares”.
