Step-by-step explanation:

Besides being an art genre, Amazonomachy was a cultural movement, In ancient Greece.

The amazon society was portraited as a Utopia, all was perfect in a social and functioning way, due to this, the greek started a movement around it, that started to be materialized in Art and literature.
