"Concerning the Sauromatæ the following account is given. When the Grecians had fought with the Amazons, the Greeks, having been victorious in the battle at the Thermodon, sailed away, taking with them in three ships as many Amazons as they had been able to take alive ; but the Amazons attacking them out at sea, cut the men to pieces."--Herodotus
