Re: Dahomey Amazons - real historic elite all-female army unit (circa 1650-1900, Afri
Quote:
Their history traces as far back as the 17th century, and theories suggest they started as a corps of elephant hunters who impressed the Dahomey King with their skills while their husbands were away fighting other tribes. A different theory suggests that because women were the only people permitted in the King’s palace with him after dark, they naturally became his bodyguards. |

This is a group of women that would be perfect for a Zero Galvan illustration-
Highlights from the article that I read- 1. It was customary in the region as warriors of the time to return home with their heads and genitals of opponents. 1.Even after French expansion in African in 1890s subdued the Dahomey people, their reign of fear continued. Uniformed French soldiers who took Dahomey women to bed were often found dead in the morning, their throats slit open. Thanks for posting about this. |

Personally I always try to be creative when it comes to this fetish and try to imagine male vs female scenarios in all kinds of historic settings and like to research things like women warriors and powerful women throughout history. When I first read about these women they just filled my imagination with ideas and images of the victories they achieved over men. Quote:

Even if statues in general were not creepy as fuck, this one would still be ridiculous.

I'm not sure I'd like to fight them: one French account refers to they sharpening their teeth and one literally bit off the throat of a French sergeant.
However that film Cobra Verde did also refer to a west African tradition where, if the king lost or was being replaced, his wives would take him into their hut and strangle him. Checked on this and there is some evidence for this. |
