Sagaris was the Greek language name for a weapon used by Scythian tribes (Herodotus 1.215, 4.5), by the Persians, Mossynoeci, and others, and according to Aristarchus (PAmh.2.12 ii 10) by the Amazons. The weapon was probably a kind of battle-axe, described as single-edged by some authors, and as double-edged by others. Possibly from this arose an attribution of the invention of the battle-axe to the Amazons by medieval and Renaissance authors (e.g. Johannes Aventinus), and a (modern) association of the Amazons with the Labrys.
