As the play opens with speeches of Theseus and Hippolyta, it is convenient to treat first of these two characters.

At last he recognized them, and congratulated me on my conquest, asking if I loved Hippolyta.
Hippolyta came down and begged me to let her ride with me, saying that she would do me credit.
