Penthesilea

Penthesilea is a Greek name. The meaning of Penthesilea is 'queen of the Amazons'. It comes from ancient Greek myths and legends. Penthesilea was a queen of the Amazons who was well-known for her bravery, combat skills, and wisdom. She was a demigod whose father was the Greek god Ares. She accidentally killed one of her sisters, Hippolyta, in a hunting accident and was so overcome with grief that she wanted to die. However, the only way to achieve her wish was to die in battle. So, she led an army against the Greeks at Troy. According to the myth, she killed Achilles. Zeus didn't like that, so he brought Achilles back to life. Achilles then killed Penthesilea but was so sorry afterward that he killed someone who mocked his grief. It is a rare name that has traditionally been given to girls. It is pronounced as Pen-the-see-lia.
