hello,
I do not think the TV series xena is based on the Queen Amina of Zaria. I don’t found interview where creators say that. I don’t found the character Xena and her history really looks like this woman. I think I am correct when I say that the character and the series were inspired by the mythological Greek and Hercules ….
There was an article stating that the creators were inspired by Queen Amina of Zaria floating around online years ago. I’m assuming it has been taken down.
The truth of the matter is that unlike Hercules who anyone who knows something about Greek mythology knows, there are no Greek myths or tales surrounding any Amazonian woman named ‘Xena’. Xena’s character is completely fictional so it is not impossible that a badass woman from African history was the source of her inspiration.
