She was the daughter of King Eurystheus and Antimache[1][2] and sister to Alexander, Iphimedon, Eurybius, Mentor, Perimedes[3] and possibly, Eurypylus.
Heracles, as one of his Twelve Labors, was obliged by her father to fetch for her the girdle of Ares, which was worn by Hippolyte, queen of the Amazons.
There was a tradition according to which Admete was originally a priestess of Hera at Argos, but fled with the image of the goddess to Samos.
When the Samians found it, they tied it to a tree, but Admete purified it and restored it to the temple of Samos.
This story seems to be an invention of the Argives, by which they intended to prove that the worship of Hera in their place was older than in Samos.
