Ancient greek art depicts Amazon warriors with shields showing the vicious Gorgons, the terrible side of the Amazon women, with snakes for hair and eyes like owls, animals associated with Athena the original Amazon (Amazighen), a daughter or granddaughter of Posidon for whom (or a son of his) was named Lake Tritonis of the Ice Age where the Amazons developed their culture, just to the east of the Atlas mountains, of the Atlantean empire which Plato said extended inside Gibraltar to Libya (and Italy).
