Whilst looking into some other Amazons, I found it interesting how there's quite a few times when they're are said to have been ruled by pairs of women

Apollonius Rhodes, Argonautica 2.385ff: Queens of the Amazons, Otrere and Antiope, built a stone temple of Ares what time they went forth to war.

Justin, Epitome of Trogus Pompeius' History of the World 2.4: They had two queens, Marpesia and Lampedo, who, dividing their forces into two bodies (after they were grown famous for their power), conducted their wars, and defended their borders separately and by turns. And that a reason for their success might not be wanting, they spread a report that they were the daughters of Mars.

Orosius, Historiae Adversus Paganos 1.15.4: The two queens of these Amazons, Marpesia and Lampeto, divided the army into two parts and drew lots to decide which should carry on war and which should guard the homeland.

Orosius, Historiae Adversus Paganos 1.15.8: Two sisters, Antiope and Orithyia, were ruling the kingdom at this time.
