The Amazons weren't called Amazons until long after was Athens founded. The Athenians started writing tales about them and included them in their tales of myth and actual history. In reality I think they were the Scythians or another nomadic tribe around there.

So yes Amazonians existed, but they weren't female dominated nor did they even call themselves Amazonians. I don't think the breast cutting thing is real because the Greeks mentioned that centuries after they disappeared.
