What is "hippolyta"

In Classical Greek mythology, Hippolyta (; Hippolyte) was the Amazonian queen who possessed a magical girdle she was given 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. As such, the myths about her are varied enough that they may be about several different women.

Queen Hippolyta is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character is based on Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons from Greek mythology. She is also the mother of Wonder Woman and Donna Troy. Wonder Woman was jointly raised by Queen Hippolyta, General Antiope, and Menalippe.
