Pantariste

Pantariste

In Greek mythology, Pantariste was an Amazon who went on a mission with several other Amazons (Areto, Iphito and more) to avenge the murder of Hippolyte by Herakles' and his soldiers. When Herakles' captains fled, Pantariste lead the chase after them. Two Greek foot soldiers attacked her, but she killed them (killing the second by holding his throat until he suffocated). She threw her spear at Captain Tiamides, who blocked it with his shield; however, the force knocked him to the ground. She then threw her labrys and beheaded him.
