* FantasyCounterpartCulture: The Amazons are portrayed as having a similar culture to the Plains Indians of North America, like the Sioux or Commanche (WordOfGod says this was intentional). They are a nomadic, horse-based culture who paint their bodies for battle, primarily fight with arrows and hatchets, are said to have an ululating war cry, and score their kills with scalps.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: To the Amazons, "good" is the status quo of their lifestyle, which they literally refer to as "the way we've always done it." "Evil", to them, is anything different from their lifestyle, to such a degree that Selene notes in the narration that "evil" and "new" are the same word in the Amazonian language. This mindset allows the Amazons to commit brutal war crimes against their enemies without a second thought, even women and children, much to the horror and revulsion of the Athenians. It also ends up motivating the Amazons to destroy Athens and Greek civilization as a whole, as it is the antithesis of their nomadic, warlike hunter-gather lifestyle.

* NobleSavage: Inverted. The ''Amazons'' ironically think of themselves as this and believe it makes them superior to the civilized Greeks. The Athenians, on the other hand, quickly come to view the Amazons as bloodthirsty barbarians.
