[Mythology] Without some sort of divine intercession or magic, how might a culture of Amazon warrior-women establish itself as a full-fledged nation/kingdom?

I'm thinking about Amazons similar to those imagined by the ancient Greeks - a tribe of steppe-dwelling women warriors, nomadic or semi-nomadic, similar to the Scythians or Sarmatians or whatever nomadic Eurasian steppe-people you can think of.

Do they live amongst men? If so, why are their men 'weaker' than or 'subservient' to the women? Cultural factors? Biological factors? Or both? Why are things in their kingdom so different to the state of affairs in neighbouring territories?

If they *don't* live alongside Amazon men, does that mean they infanticide all their male babies? Or send them away? If so, where do they send them?

And if they don't live amongst men, where/how do they access men for reproduction purposes? Do they go on special raids to find men? Do they capture the men and bring them into their territory, or do they somehow do the deeds while on their raids?

Amazons are *extremely violent.* They're more of a self-sustaining refugee camp slash perpetual war party slash mercenary organization.

There are no men. They fill their ranks entirely through raids: a combination of stealing/indoctrinating young girls, freeing female slaves, and occasionally being the place fugitives can escape to. There is next to no opportunity to have sex or become pregnant. If one of them did become pregnant and have a boy, they'd kill him.
