Even if this were true (i.e. I'll ignore MOB's ideas), that does not give the God a large fertility aspect. Rather the Amazons have made a minor fertility association pivotal in their society.

IMO it generates a lower birthrate than normal human societies to the extent that the Amazons have to replenish their numbers through a) raiding of surrounding societies (Kralorela, Teshnos, Melib) for females and b) maintenance of a lifestyle that does not require a high population density.
