Of course, the history nerds
amongst us will know that the internal organ that the
Ancient Greeks associated with love was the spleen, not
the heart - a fact used to great humorous effect in an
episode of Lynne Truss's Radio 4 sitcom Acropolis
Now (only on Radio 4 could you have a sitcom with a
Greek chorus, parodying the conventions of Ancient Greek
drama and namechecking obscure philosophers). As usual,
my get-out clause for this apparent anachronism is that
the Amazons aren't actually Greek, and so they're free
to associate whatever organ they like with romantic
feelings. Hur hur hur...
