Labours of Heracles | liebher1.6: Another labour consisted in fetching the belt of Hippolyte, queen of the AMAZONS. She had the belt of Ares for being the best among the AMAZONS. Heracles was sent to fetch it because Admete, daughter of Eurystheus, desired to get it. When he arrived to the land of the AMAZONS, a fight broke out, and Heracles killed Hippolyte, stripping her of her belt. And having defeated the rest, he sailed away to Troy and later to Mycenae, where he surrendered the belt to Eurystheus. Liebig sets. |
