it was Hippolyta who concluded a four month long war between Athens and the Amazons with a peace treaty, resulting in the marriage between Theseus and Hippolyta. The representation of Hippolyta and Theseus in A Midsummer Night's Dream appears to be the playwright's invention.

The character Hippolyta appears in The Two Noble Kinsmen, a play co-written by Shakespeare and John Fletcher.
