The Horse Maidens
Amongst the Yoruba Female names (using the Horse dev. Chain) is a selection of women who carry the suffix -io. We can consider this to designate they are daughters of Io. If we then take these as a dialect variation of Ancient Greek Female we get names like Hrena, Orena, and Rena. What we are looking at is basically the foundation for an Amazon myth. A band of warrior-women who rode horses, and were likely refered to as 'Daughters of Io'.

On Adulthood the Horse Maidens must tame a wild horse as their own, They are semi-nomadic, following the wild herds. 10% of the Horse Maidens worship Io (an ancient Traladar Warrior Woman), the majority venerate elder women of the Horse Maidens as a form of Ancestor Worship. They live apart from men, having a hostile relationship, and will take men as required or desired understanding that it requires a Stalion to impregnate a mare if the herd is to have continuity.
Daughers of Io add an -io suffix to their names.
