Who was it that named Bellatrix the 'Amazon Star'?
According to Richard Allen's 'Star names: Their Lore and meaning" page 313, Bellatrix is the 'Female Warrior', the Amazon Star, and that this is from the translation, freely made in the Alfonsine Tables of the Arabic title 'Al Najid' , The Conqueror. It is also known as the Conquering Lion heralding its presence by his roar as if he were announcing the immediate rising of the still more brilliant Rigel, or of the whole constellation Orion. In the Amazon River myth, Bellatrix is a Young Boy in a Canoe with an old mad, the star betelgeuse chasing the Peixie Boi, a dark spot in the sky near Orion. Thomas hood said that all women born under this sign will have mighty mouths.
