The story behind the answer

Which Greek hero stole the girdle of Hippolyta? Heracles did. The belt, or girdle, of Hippolyta was the prize of his ninth labor, assigned by King Eurystheus after his daughter Admete desired the Amazon queen’s prized possession.

Hippolyta was queen of the Amazons and, in many accounts, wore a war belt given to her by her father, the god Ares. In the version recorded by Pseudo-Apollodorus, she initially agrees to hand it over after meeting Heracles. Hera then disguises herself as an Amazon and spreads a rumor that Heracles intends to abduct the queen. The Amazons attack, and Heracles kills Hippolyta and takes the belt.

The myths vary considerably. Some say Hippolyta gives the girdle willingly; others emphasize battle, abduction, or a conflict involving Theseus. Theseus is therefore linked to Hippolyta in related Amazon stories, but Heracles is the canonical answer for the girdle in the Twelve Labors.
