Hippolyta facts for kids
Hippolyta (Greek: Ἱππολύτη, Hippolyte) was one of the queens of the Amazons in Greek mythology. She was a fierce warrior. She was mostly famous for her magical girdle (or war belt in other accounts), given to her by her father, Ares, the god of war. The hero Heracles, for his Ninth Labor, had to get her girdle, bring it back to the city of Mycenae, and give it to Admete, daughter of King Eurystheus, as a gift.
