AMAZONS, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com |
 | | During the Trojan War, the AMAZONS came, led by Penthesilia (whom some believe to be some sort of runaway, after having killed her sister), to help defend Troy. |
 | | So, some say, that a battle took place, and that she (Hippolyte 3) was killed, either involuntarily by Penthesilia, her ally, or by Theseus, or because the wedding guests, seeing the threatening AMAZONS, hastily closed the doors and, separating her from the rest, slew her. |
 | | Penthesilia is said to have killed Hippolyte 3 and to have been purified by Priam 1, king of Troy. |
