Pantariste
In Greek mythology, Pantariste (Ancient Greek: Πανταρίστη) was an Amazon who fought on Hippolyte's side against Heracles and his troops.
A black-figure vase painting of the 6th century BCE depicts Pantariste defeating the Greek warrior Timiades. The same painting features two other similar "Greek hero vs. Amazon" fighting scenes: Heracles about to kill Andromache; and Telamon attacking Ainippe.[1]
