Half-divine daughter of Ares by the Amazon-queen Otrera; sister of Hippolyta; Amazon-queen warrior who arrived at Troy after Hector's death and was killed by Achilles in single combat. The fall-of-helmet-revealing-face-at-the-moment-of-death — Achilles overwhelmed by love and grief as he sees the dying queen's face — is among the most iconic single images of the post-Homeric Greek-epic-cycle tradition, transmitted through the Aethiopis fragments and preserved in detail by Quintus Smyrnaeus's Posthomerica 1. The Thersites-mockery and his killing-by-Achilles is the structural coda. The story sits in the gap between the Iliad and the Odyssey, in the Trojan-cycle material that Homer either deliberately omits or simply doesn't treat.
