In Greek Mythology, Bremusa (Ancient Greek: Βρεμούσα means " furious female" was one of a group of 12 Amazonian warriors. She was born in Themiskyra in 1204 BC[1] and fought with Penthesilea.[2]
Mythology
[edit]Bremusa was killed outside of Troy by Idomeneus of Crete.[3]
"Then with his lance Idomeneus thrust out, and by the right breast stabbed Bremusa. Stilled for ever was the beating of her heart. She fell, as falls a graceful-shafted pine hewn mid the hills by woodmen: heavily, sighing through all its boughs, it crashes down. So with a wailing shriek she fell, and death unstrung her every limb: her breathing soul mingled with multitudinous-sighing winds."[4]
