In Greek mythology, Molpadia is an Amazon, mentioned by Pausania and Plutarch as a likely killer of Antiope. The mitocument wikitesto

If you accept the most generic tradition of Amazons' origins then Molpadia would be identified in one of Ares's and the Harmony nymphs and would have a parental bond with Antiope, Otrera, Hippolytus and Pentesilea. When Teseo came to Temizra and abducted Queen Antiope, Molpadia joined the forces deployed by the Orizia Amazon and marched against Athens to avenge the oath of kidnapping.

In the violent clash that saw the Athenian hero forces and the army of warrior women opposed, Molpadia killed, perhaps voluntarily, the same Antiope, who had deserted his companions and joined Teseo because he fell in love . The latter avenged her death, killing Molpadia in turn. The body of the latter was buried together with Antiope at the Mother Earth temple. In honor of Molpadia was erected a monument that Pausania still remembers in Athens. Notemodify wikitesto Bibliografiamodifica wikitesto
