The Isle of Lemnos: Women only

Over Christmas Jason and the Argonauts was on TV. Not the one from a hundred years ago with all the terrible (but great) effects and monsters, a more recent version. Anyway, I watched it, the whole 2 1/2 hours, and was taken with the Isle of Lemnos; an island completely inhabited by women. Jason and his crew stop off from the ship, thinking they have hit the jackpot, little do they know that these clever, conniving women are in fact planning their murders.

Luckily Jason and the rest learn of this before its too late, (informed by the only woman on deck might I add). So they all get out safely, if you were concerned.

It turns out that the women had been made smelly as a punishment from Aphrodite, resulting in their husbands deserting them for Thracian women, typical! So what do the ladies do? Kill their husbands of course.

Have to say their lifestyle seems pretty interesting, maybe appealing. They're living in harmony with all their girlfriends, getting on with life pleasantly, none of that stress bullshit. Then recurrently they get male visitors, they do the do, kill them and then get on with their lives as normal.

Sounds like modern day Girl Power to me. Hmm, I wonder what Lemnos is sayin nowadays anyway..
