The wife of the king of Phthia, Akastos (Acastus).
When Peleus took refuge in Phthia, Akastos befriended him but Hippolyte made unwanted advances towards Peleus and, when he rejected her, she lied to Akastos and as a result, Peleus was abandoned on Mount Pelion to die.
Peleus had been given a knife made by the hands of Hephaistos (Hephaestus) but Akastos took the knife so that Peleus would be defenseless; the Centaur, Kheiron (Chiron), restored the knife to Peleus and saved him from certain death.
Hippolyte is also known as Astydameia.
