Description

On This week of Diss and That I'm joined by Hippolyta - the legendary Queen of the Amazons as featured in Homer’s Iliad and epic tales of Hercules and Theseus….

Well.. I'm not… but its the next best thing.

Sophie Dibben studied Classics at Trinity College Dublin and has a rather unique dissertation. Sophie mocked up an interview with the Warrior Queen to wade through the male view of the Amazons and why the myth and reality is so intertwined.

The title of her dissertation…

'The Amazons; constructed by Greco-Roman men to be

sexualised and killed'
