Hippolyta
In Classical Greek mythology, Hippolyta (; ''Hippolyte'') was the Amazonian queen who possessed a magical girdle she was given by her father Ares, the god of war. The girdle was a waist belt that signified her authority as queen of the Amazons. She figures prominently in the myths of both Heracles and Theseus. As such, the myths about her are varied enough that they may be about several different women.〔Robert Graves (1955) ''The Greek Myths''〕
==The Ninth Labour of Heracles==
In the myth of Heracles, Hippolyta's girdle (ζωστὴρ Ἱππολύτης) was the object of his ninth labor. He was sent to retrieve it for Admeta, the daughter of King Eurystheus.〔Euripides, ''Hercules Furens'', 408 ''sqq''.〕〔Apollonius Rhodius, ''Argonautica'', II. 777 ''sqq''. and 966 ''sqq''.〕〔Diodorus Siculus, ''Bibliotheca Historica'', IV. 16〕〔Ps.-Apollodorus, ''Bibliotheke'', II. 5. 9〕〔Pausanias, ''Hellados Periegesis'', V. 10. 9〕〔Quintus Smyrnaeus, ''Posthomerica'', VI. 240 ''sqq''.〕〔Hyginus, ''Fabulae'', 30〕 Most versions of the myth indicate that Hippolyta was so impressed with Heracles that she gave him the girdle without argument, perhaps while visiting him on his ship. Then (according to Pseudo-Apollodorus), the goddess Hera, making herself appear as one of the Amazons, spread a rumor among them that Heracles and his crew were abducting their queen, so the Amazons attacked the ship. In the fray that followed, Heracles slew Hippolyta, stripped her of the belt, fought off the attackers, and sailed away.
