Originally an Amazonian, Hippolyta is to marry Theseus after he conquered the Amazons too. Perhaps due to her being from another territory, she doesn’t have any line in the play at all (except the first scenes of Acts IV and V). However, her fear against Theseus too might be a good reason for this.
In Greek mythology, Hippolyta is the Amazonian Queen who was given a magical girdle by her father Ares, the God of War.
