Antianeirai are a type of cavalry unit in a Total War Saga: Troy.

Description[]

Myths tell of the Amazonomachies, a series of savage battles opposing Ancient Greece and the Amazons. These tales depict the Amazons as barbaric female warriors whose brutality stands in stark contrast to the Greeks' civilised conception of honour. The most famous of these stories recounts how Heracles travelled to Themiscyra to claim Hippolyta's girdle as his own for his ninth labour, while another describes how the Thracian hero Penthesilea fought on Troy's side in the Trojan War. According to the Aethiopis, she was killed in single combat by Achilles, who then fell in love with her upon removing her helmet.
