Hippolyta?

If the play was inspired in the real Amazons I think that Hippolyta would not be the noble person and wealthy that is represented in the play. On the other hand, it would be kind of poor, in a sense that in the amazons there is not really a lot of money, for anyone. The indigenous people were everything but noble, they are adventurous and take care of the children of the house. In the Trojan Women, Hippolyta is going to marry the man she wanted to, in the amazons we were able to visit a group of Indians, the Marubos, and they told us that women were set to marry the person that their father wanted them to, not anyone they wanted to.

There was no Queen of The Amazons, not one guide or native talked to us about any queen. Since the Amazons was thought to be the land of women, maybe that’s why the play is thought for Hippolyta as a character.
