Orithyia (Amazon)

In Greek and Roman legendary history, Orithyia, "woman raging in the mountains", was the daughter of Marpesia.

[4][5] According to Justinus's Epitome of Trogus Pompeius' History of the World,[6] Orithyia was one of the key figures in the story of Hercules' quest for the girdle of the Amazon queen.

Hercules returned Melanippe after getting the queen's girdle, however Hippolyte was taken away by Theseus, king of Athens, as his share of the spoil.

She asked Sagillus, the Scythian king, for assistance, and he sent his son Panasagoras with a body of cavalry to her aid.

The Amazons were eventually defeated, but managed to escape to their allies' camp and, under their protection, returned home safely[10] In Giovanni Boccaccio's Famous Women,[11] a chapter is dedicated to Orithyia and Antiope.
