Anti'ope
2. An Amazon, a sister of Hippolyte, who married Theseus. (
Paus. 1.2.1,
41.7.)
According to Servius(
Serv. ad Aen. 11.661), she was a daughter of Hippolyte. Diodorus (
4.16) states, that Theseus received her as a present from Heracles. When subsequently Attica was invaded by the Amazons, Antiope fought with Theseus against them, and died the death of a heroine by his side. (Comp.
Diod. 4.28;
Plut. Thes. 26,
27.)
According to Hyginus (
Hyg. Fab. 241) Antiope was a daughter of Ares, and was killed by Theseus himself in consequence of an oracle.
