In Greek mythology, Hippolyta was the queen of the Amazons and a superstrong demigoddess (daughter of Ares, the god of war). As one of Heracles' 12 Labours, he defeated Hippolyta and stole her magic belt. In some versions of the myth, Hippolyta later married the hero Theseus.

Attached: 1 image Picked this up today at an antiques shop, just because I thought it was interesting - an old mechanical watch movement, fascinating! There's no crown or winding stem, but the balance wheel and spring are still present, and if you swing the balance, you can see the escape wheel turning. Only after coming home did it occur to me it might be something nice to turn into a piece of jewellery, so I'm talking to someone about doing that! #watchmaking #antique #horology #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi
