Arrian of Nicomedia has mentioned: Atropat (in Azerbaijan History the founder and the ruler of Atropatena) has welcomed Alexander the Great after his raid to the India (the 327 b.c. one) and gifted him with Midian horses and 100 Amazon warrior women. Although it was not confirmed that they actually existed, the fact that it was true is fascinating.
