## Monarchy

The Amazons have a monarchy. Meaning, there are no elected leaders. The first queen, was Otrera, and she had four daughters, with her father Ares. Penthesilea, Antiope, Melanippe, and Hippolyta. Hippolyta, had two children, with different fathers. With Theseus, she had Hippolytus, and with a unnamed son of Hephaestus, Cassandra.

### Otrera

Otrera is a daughter of Ares. She was the first Amazonian queen. She had four daughters with her father, Ares. They each had their own rein. Otrera taught each of her daughters how to fight, and trained them. Not a lot is known about her rein.

### Penthesilea

Penthesilea was the second Amazonian queen, and had one daughter, Phoebe, who died in battle before she could become queen. Penthesilea was the oldest of Otrera's daughters.

### Antiope

Antiope was the third queen, she had no children and was Hippolytus, Cassandra and Phoebe's cool lesbian aunt. She married a young Amazonian warrior general; Beroe, not Seleme's Beroe, different Beroe.

### Melanippe

Melanippe was the fourth queen, and the queen before Hippolyta.

### Hippolyta

Hippolyta had the most well known rein. She is the youngest daughter of Otrera and Ares. Speaking of Ares, he gave her a magic girdle, which symbolized her queen-ly-ness. Theseus thought she was hot, and queen-napped her. The two got married, and had Hippolytus, though, before Hippolytus was born, Theseus saw Phaedra and ditched Hippolyta and married Phaedra instead. Hippolyta was angry, and returned home. She sent Hippolytus back to his father, and gave Hippolytus a bronze locket, which means a lot to him. Eight years later, she had a daughter, Cassandra. Cassandra was born with the ability to wield fire.

## Growing up Amazonian

If you are a girl, you stayed on the island with your mother. If you are a dude, you were either killed, or sent back to your father, like Hippolytus. As an Amazon, you would be very tall, modern day Amazonians, even standing at 7 feet tall. Amazons also have longer life spans and must die in battle.

## island of the Amazons

The island of the Amazons is about the size of Alaska. It is forested, but also suburban. There is a large lake in the center, where the monarchs have a lake house. It is divided into six pieces;

### Castle

The castle is where Hippolyta and her relatives live. Hippolytus was temporarily grounded to the castle and lake house so no one would find out he was there.

### Lake House

The lake house is also where Hippolyta and her relatives reside. It has a dock.

### Lake Otrera

Lake Otrera, named after Queen Otrera, sometimes just called Lake O, is the large lake in the center of the island of the Amazons.

### Forest

the forested part of the island, is exceptionally deadly compared to the rest of the island.

### Beach

the beach has a ongoing important place in the series. Theseus was angered that Hippolyta dipped and left him to raise their son, Hippolytus, son when he was 6, Theseus knocked him out and sailed him over to the island to live with Hippolyta. Thankfully, for Hippolytus, his aunt, Antiope, saw Theseus knock him out, lie to him about where he was, and abandon him. So he would not be brutally murdered. Hippolytus' first response after waking up was to vomit, since he gets very seasick, also he had the stomach flu.

## Hippolytus, the Prince of the Amazons

The Amazons have only ever had one prince, Hippolytus. Jason, wasn't counted, because his mother wasn't queen anymore when he was born. Hippolytus was born to Hippolyta and Theseus. Theseus, was the king of Athens. His step-mother is Phaedra, who he does not like, mostly because of his death. He is a hunter of Artemis, and is not exactly, respected by the Amazons, because he's a dude. He has his own page, you can read it if you want.
