"Penthesilea was perhaps one of the most famous of Amazon queens, a warrior worthy of any of her Greek rivals. She and her women fought for Troy during the Trojan War, and Pentha was a standout figure. The late antique writer Quintus Smyrnaeus described her as one "athirst indeed for groan-resounding battle," somebody who was "the tireless War-god's [Ares's] child, the mailed maid, like to the Blessed Gods; for in her face glowed beauty glorious and terrible."
In his Aeneid, Vergil detailed the Trojan allies, among them "Penthesilea in fury [who] leads the crescent-shielded ranks of Amazons and blazes amid her thousands; a golden belt she binds below her naked breast, and, as a warrior queen, dares battle, a maid clashing with men."
As great of a warrior as she was (she almost got all the way to the Greek camps!), Penthesilea experienced a tragic fate. According to all accounts, she was killed by the Greeks, but some versions have Achilles, one of her possible murderers, falling in love with her dead body. When a guy named Thersites jeered the Myrmidon's possibly necrophiliac passion, Achilles smacked him and killed him."
