He who dies kills me, I kill myself to death, I am hand in hand with death I spend my days palpating it. You think it isn’t contagious. But the soul that comes close enough to touch catches like a funeral pyre.

Penthesilea. Come now, sweet son of a Nereid, come and lie down at my feet. Be bold! Or are you afraid of me? Do you hate me because I won? Tell me – do you fear the one who left you lying in the dust?

Achilles (at her feet) Like flowers do the sun.

Penthesilea. Good. Well said. Look at me as if I was your sun.

– Heinrich von Kleist, from Penthesilea.

Penthesilea, in Greek mythology, a queen of the Amazons, well respected for her bravery, her skill in weapons, and her wisdom. She led an army of Amazons to Troy to fight against the Greeks. She was said to have killed Achilles, but Zeus brought him back to life, and Achilles killed her. One version says that Achilles was so overcome with remorse that he killed a man who mocked his grief.
