Thanks for pointing out, it's incorrect. Amazon means originally 'without breast' It was called so because the women tribe took away their one breast to pull the bow, later 'Amazon' started being used for women tribe itself. The Amazon Basin was named so because we had an image the women are a full of moisture and emollience. It was not at all from the image of fighting woman. If Amazon Desert were the reality in future, we might start thinking that the Amazon is called so from its original meaning 'without breast'.
