  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.

Penthesilia, fair-skinned, magnetic, boisterous, fun-loving, brash, bawdy, impulsive and her dark, brooding daughter for whom a smile was as rare as an honest Phoenician and who never made a move without first meticulously weighing all the options.
Indeed Penthesilia's choice of lovers had met with the whole tribe's general disapproval--not because Euset was another female; Amazonian elite had long been known to take advantage of their station in life to satisfy their carnal desires.
Penthesilia was in her prime, strong and remarkably fit; they foresaw no problems.

 Looking Backward From 2000 to 1887, by Edward Bellamy; Chapter 15 Page 5
I sat up in my room that night reading "Penthesilia" till it grew gray in the east, and did not lay it down till I had finished it.
And yet let no admirer of the great romancer of the twentieth century resent my saying that at the first reading what most impressed me was not so much what was in the book as what was left out of it.
The reading of "Penthesilia" was of more value than almost any amount of explanation would have been in giving me something like a general impression of the social aspect of the twentieth century.

Penthesilia was supposed to have the same mother as Hippolyte but this is unlikely because a generation of 20 years separates Penthesilia and Troy and the death of Hippolyte at the hands of Herakles.
The place of Marpesia is not clear but she could fill the gap between Hippolyte and Penthesilia.
Answer: Penthesilia was an Amazon queen who led a group of Amazons as an ally of the Trojans during the Trojan war.
