| 39 | "I have twice read in articles about Panthers that a Panther's strength is twice that of a man. Is there a quote supporting that? If not are there any quotes describing the strength of Panthers compared to that of men?"
Answer
Hello,
Well, I have to say that this is one of the more interesting requests I had. I've never heard of Panther Girls being "superhuman". Rest assured that no such thing is true. And I would caution you to be very, very careful believing anything else those sites have to say.
Here is just one passage describing Panther Girls. It shows not only their 'strength' (in that they are forced to kneel by a whip slave) but also shows where they come from in the fist place.
The next lot was an interesting one, consisting of two slave girls, clad in the skins of forest panthers, from the northern forests of Gor, and chained together by the throat. They were driven up the steps by a whip slave and forced to kneel at the center of the block. The northern forests, the haunts of bandits and unusual beasts, far to the north and east of Ko-ro-ba, my city, are magnificent, deep forests, covering hundreds of thousands of square pasangs. Slave girls who escape masters or some free women, who will not accept the matches arranged by their parents, or reject the culture of Gor, occasionally flee to these forests and live together in bands, building shelters, hunting their food, and hating men; there are occasional clashes between these bands of women, who are often skilled archers, and bands of male outlaws inhabiting the same forests hardy Slavers sometimes go into the forests hunting these girls, but often they do not return; sometimes Slavers simply meet outlaws at the edges of the forests, at designated locations, and buy captured girls from them . . .
