Antiope
A Queen of the Amazons, sister of Hippolyta and Penthesilea. According to some myths, she was carried away by Hercules to Athens to be the bride of Theseus. In others, Hippolyta is kidnapped by Hercules, and Antiope and Penthesilea lead the army of Amazons that attacks Athens in an attempt to rescue their sister. In the Wonder Woman comic books, Antiope is the leader of a breakaway group of Amazons who disapprove of the more tolerant attitude Hippolyta and her daughter Diana (Wonder Woman) have towards the patriarchal societies of the outside world. Her daughter, Artemis, shares Antiope's feelings about men, but agrees to become the new Wonder Woman after Diana is killed.
