Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who was Hippolyte's father?

Answer: Ares

Hippolyte was a very pretty Amazon queen. Her parents were Ares, the god of warfare, and the Amazon Otriris.
2. Who wanted to acquire Hippolyte's girdle?

Answer: Eurystheus' daughter

Eurystheus' daughter had learned about Hippolyte's girdle and wanted to acquire it. So, her father ordered Hercules to bring it to her. This was his ninth labour. Hercules defeated the Amazons, with the help of some of his friends, and took the girdle.
3. Who is said to have killed Hippolyte in battle?

Answer: Hercules

Hercules fought against the Amazons with the help of his friends and finally killed Hippolyte and took her girdle. This was his ninth labour.
4. Who married Antiope, Hippolyte's sister?

Answer: Theseus

Antiope was captured during the battle between Hercules and the Amazons and later became the wife of King Theseus. Together, they had a son, Hippolytus. (In some versions of the tale, Hippolyta survived the battle and married Theseus, not her sister -- but Hippolytus was always Theseus's son.)
5. Who was Alcmene's child?

Answer: Hercules

Alcmene was the mother of the great hero Hercules. She was married to Amphitryon, a Greek king, but Hercules' father was Zeus.
6. Who was Alcmene's father?

Answer: Electryon

Alcmene's father was Electryon, the king of Mycenae. He was the son of Perseus, a great Greek hero.
7. Who was Hippodamia's father?

Answer: Oenomaus

Hippodamia's father was Oenomaus. He didn't want his daughter to be married. For this reason, he used to invite everyone who wanted to marry Hippodamia on a race with chariots. He had two great horses, a present from his father Ares, so he could easily defeat all men. Then, he used to kill them.
8. Hippodamia was in love with whom?

Answer: Pelopas

Pelopas succeeded in defeating Oenomaus, with Hippodamia's help and with Poseidon's horses. So, he married Hippodamia.
9. Hippodamia was the grandmother of whom?

Answer: Agamemnon

Hippodamia was Atreus and Thyestes' mother. Agamemnon was Atreus' son, so, he was Hippodamia's grandson.
10. Who was Oenomaus' driver, who helped Pelops win the chariot race because Hippodamia had promised to give him money?

Answer: Myrtilus

Myrtilus was Hermes' son. He was king Oenomaus' driver and when Pelops asked to marry Hippodamia and decided to take part to the chariot race, the princess asked him to help. She promised that she would give him money. Myrtilus loosened the lynchpins of the chariot and Oenomaus was killed. Pelops, though, threw Myrtilus into the sea instead of giving him money.
