Alcibe was an Amazon from Amaseia in the kingdom of Pontus. Her mother Bremusa was the granddaughter of Harmothoe, whose spirit was encased in a statue that became aware of its surroundings when her sword was nearby. Alcibe was apparently killed in action sometime in the 1st millennium BC, and Harmothoe's consciousness was not awakened until AD 1872, when archaeologist Hiram Rowbotham-Finch brought the two pieces close together again.
