Legendary Queen of the Amazons From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In ancient Greek and Roman legendary history, Marpesia (Greek: Μαρπησία "Snatcher"; sometimes wrongly spelled Marthesia) was Queen of the Amazons with Lampedo ("burning torch"), her sister, as a co-ruler.[1] They ruled with Hippo ("horse") after the death of Lysippe.[2]
Marpesia was one of the rulers who helped establish the Greek city of Ephesus.[3]
In Giovanni Boccaccio’s Famous Women, a chapter is dedicated to Lampedo and Marpesia.[4]
