40- Heracles/Hercules Part XI: Hippolyta's Belt

The Amazons feature for the first time in a major way, as Heracles is tasked with fetching a belt from their queen! All in order to please the first recorded instance of both a spoiled princess and a daddy's girl... Content warning: An apparent Amazon practice of mutilation gets mentioned very briefly.
