Cherronesus

Cherronesus was the legendary city of the Amazons, located somewhere in western Libya. Most of the (scarce) details about the city came from Diodorus Siculus, a Greek historian in Sicily who flourished in the first century BC.

Under the rule of their queen, Myrina, she drove a rival race of woman warriors known as the Gorgons out of their territory. She conquered several territories in the West, such as in Asia Minor, and founded the city of Mitylene on the island of Lesbos.

The surviving Amazons returned to Libya after the death of Myrina and their defeat at the hands of the Thracians and Scythians in Asia Minor.
