A Midsummer Night's Dream

I'm currently just at the end of the first act of the BBC version of  'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.  If anyone else wants to watch along with me, I'll add more after I've seen the second half.

Who is Hippolyta?  Shakespeare takes it for granted that we know, but although I vaguely recalled that she was Queen of the Amazons, I had to turn to Wikipedia for more about her and Theseus. 

"Hippolyta first appears in myth when she goes with Theseus, who was accompanying Heracles on his quest against the Amazons. When Theseus first arrived at the land of the Amazons they expected no malice, and so Hippolyta came to his ship bearing gifts. They then eloped, and returned to Athens, she pregnant with a child.

Theseus' brazen act sparked an Amazonomachy, a great battle between the Athenians and Amazons. The Amazons made camp in Attica on a hill that has been described as "bare and rocky", the Areopagus"
