Marpesia

Legendary Queen of the Amazons

Legendary Queen of the Amazons

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. They ruled with Hippo ("horse") after the death of Lysippe.

Marpesia was one of the rulers who helped establish the Greek city of Ephesus.

In Giovanni Boccaccio’s Famous Women, a chapter is dedicated to Lampedo and Marpesia.
