:''For the brush-footed butterfly genus, see ''Marpesia (butterfly). In ancient Greek and Roman legendary history, Marpesia (Greek: Μαρπησία "Snatcher"; sometimes wrongly spelled Marthesia) was Queen of the Amazons with Lampedo ("burning torch"), her sister, as a co-ruler.〔(Justinus ''Epitoma Historiarum philippicarum Pompei Trogi'' II.4.1-16 )〕 They ruled with Hippo ("horse") after the death of Lysippe.〔(Famous Amazons ) Famous Members of the Amazon Nation.〕 Marpesia was one of the rulers who helped establish the Greek city of Ephesus.〔(Famous members of the Amazon nation )〕 She also established a city in the Caucasus Mountains referred to as the Rock of Marpesia or the Marpesian Cliff. Alexander the Great sometime later built gates there which were called the Caspian Gates.〔Jordanes, The ''Getica'', (Chapter 7: The Amazones. The Caucasus. §49 )〕 This was an area on the Thermodon River in Cappadocia. Marpesia and Lampedo extended the Amazon influence to Europe and greater Asia Minor, becoming an object of terror to that part of the world. Marpesia was succeeded by her daughters Orithyia and Antiope〔Orosius (''Historiae adversus paganos'' I.15.1-6 )〕 (some sources add Synope〔(Synope and Orithya ) Marpesia's daughters〕) after she was killed in battle during a sudden invasion by Asian barbarians. In Giovanni Boccaccio’s ''Famous Women'', a chapter is dedicated to Lampedo and Marpesia.〔Giovanni Boccaccio’s ''Famous Women'' translated by Virginia Brown 2001, p. 25-27〕 == Notes == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marpesia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
