Daughter of Eurystheus in Greek mythology, Admete (or Admeta) asked her father to require Heracles to steal Hippolyte's girdle for her. Heracles had to comply as this was one of his Twelve Labors.

Human Women in Greek Myths ~ Acacallis to Evadne (4622 words)
Admeta was the daughter of Eurystheus for whom Heracles performed the ninth labor.
He went to the Amazons and stole the Girdle of Hippolyta from their queen and brought it back to Admeta.
Symbolically, in the story of Heracles, Admeta is a priestess who eventually succumbs to sleeping with the hero, but only after he's beaten her (in the form of the Hydra, a crab, a wild mare, a cloud, and a hind - read the story, if you don't get it).
