Hippolyta Hippolyta In Classical Greek mythology, Hippolyta (; "Hippolyte") was the Amazonian queen who possessed a magical girdle that was given to her 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. The myths about her are varied enough that they may therefore be about several different women. The name "Hippolyta" comes from Greek roots meaning 'horse' and 'let loose'. In the myth of Hercules, Hippolyta's girdle (ζωστὴρ Ἱππολύτης) was the object of his ninth labor.
