Famous river (6)

I believe the answer is:

amazon

(Other definitions for amazon that I've seen before include "Female warrior of Greek myth" , "Mythical woman warrior and river" , "S. America's longest river" , "Great river of S America, or a tough woman" , "Encourage, ask" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
