Scythia

Bass stayed friends with Jesus and was an active figure in their lives so much so that Yvette and Scythia regularly referred to her as “mom” on the campaign trail.

Then Bass saw her grandson Michael, 13, whisper something to his mom, Scythia.

“Whether by choice or compelled by circumstances,” Mayor writes, “ordinary women of Scythia could be hunters and warriors without giving up femininity, male companionship, sex, and motherhood.”

Because of her age, the warrior weaponry, and her propensity for horseback riding, it is suggested that the woman was Philip’s seventh wife, the daughter of King Atheas of Scythia.

Scythia at the time described many regions in Europe and Asia, but Lee points to Indo-Scythia, a region of India that Alexander the Great would invade in the 5th Century.
