+Unlike the Aethiopis, Penthesilea is definitely in love with Achilles. In this version Achilles is captured by the Amazons, then escapes. Penthesilea and Achilles do battle with one another and both fall. Mortally wounded, Penthesilea believes she has conquered Achilles in battle. Amazons can only marry those they have defeated in battle. So, Achilles let's her go on  believing this because he is so in love with her. Eventually, the ruse is exposed and Achilles goes back tot he Greeks. He wants to be conquered by Penthesilea, so he sends her a challenge. She thinks it is him saying he doesn't love her anymore and responds by killing him with an arrow and some hunting dogs. He is torn to pieces.
