Or it might be that the image of Amazons was adapted to resemble Steppe peoples because they were the nearest model at hand for societies that had significant numbers of female warriors.
Amazons are deeply entrenched in Greek mythology. I like to think that if they're based on any real source, it goes back to the Bronze Age.

Far beyond the rising sun
I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

Well, I'm tough, rough, ready and I'm able
To pick myself up from under this table...
