	Hippolyta
		Hippolyta first appears in myth when she is kidnapped by Theseus, who was either accompanying Heracles on his quest against the Amazons, or he was just bored and looking for something to do.
		Even though Hippolyta bore a son to Theseus, who was called Hippolytus, she was cast off when Theseus had eyes for Phaedra.
		Fearing that Hippolyta had betrayed him, Heracles hastily killed her, ripped the girdle from her lifeless body, and set sail, narrowly escaping the raging warriors.
