Gargarencia was a village on a riverbank that was populated solely by men. All of the women left to join Queen Hippolyta's Amazon tribe. For an unknown amount of time the Amazons lived apart from their men, knowing them to have no respect for women and only visiting them once a year to keep their tribes populated, although it is claimed by Hippolyta that many of their male children are abandoned in the wild, as they have no use for them in their tribe.
