Penthesilea is an Amazon general, the sister of Hippolyta and Antiope. She has only appeared in the Flashpoint event as a minor antagonist, and is not part of the Wonder Woman lore in any of the regular continuities. She is based on the mythical Amazon of the same name

An Amazon based on that character named Penthiselea was the daughter of Phthia and Menalippus, who like her mythical counterpart died in the Trojan War.

Penthiselea was created by George Pérez and Chris Marrinan, first appearing in Wonder Woman (Volume 2) #33 (1989).
