Theseus, Hippolyta, Lysander, all people from A midsummers night dream
Hippolyta is the Queen of the Amazons, who is betrothed to Theseus, the Duke of Athens. In Greek mythology, these two legendary persons do in fact marry.
The Duke of Athens in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is Theseus. He is a noble and powerful ruler who is preparing for his wedding to Hippolyta, the Queen of the Amazons. Theseus is known for his wisdom and authority in the play.
Hippolyta, the former queen of the Amazons, is a character in William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream." She is betrothed to Theseus, the Duke of Athens, and plays a key role in the events of the play.
Theseus and Hippolyta
The wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta. "Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour draws on apace."
Theseus and Hippolyta are not at all related in any way in Greek mythology. You might be thinking about Shakespeare's play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. In this play, Hippolyta, an Amazon, is engaged to Theseus, the Due of Athens.
Hippolyta is the Queen of the Amazons and is engaged to Theseus, the Duke of Athens. She represents order and authority in the play, and her marriage to Theseus symbolizes the resolution of the conflicts that occur in the story. Hippolyta's presence adds a sense of stability and balance to the chaotic events that unfold in "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
A Midsummer Nights Dream takes place in the city of Athens, where king Theseus is getting ready to marry Hippolyta - the queen of the Amazons - who is a prisoner of war. Theseus is clearly very excited about the marriage. We never really find out how Hippolyta feels about it.

In A Midsummer Nights Dream Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons, has been defeated by Theseus, the king of Athens. Theseus has fallen in love with Hippolyta, and plans to marry her. The main action of the play takes place during the preparation for this wedding.
Theseus married Hippolyta in the context of William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," which is set in ancient Athens. While the play does not specify an exact year for this marriage, it is typically associated with the mythological timeline of Theseus, who is said to have married Hippolyta after defeating her in battle. In myth, their union symbolizes the merging of the Athenian order with the wildness of the Amazons.
