When did Theseus first meet Hippolyta?

In a Midsummer Night’s Dream by Shakespeare, the time when
Theseus first met Hippolyta was not explicitly stated. However, the circumstance
surrounding their meeting was mentioned in Act 1 Scene
1.

Hippolyta,
I woo'd thee with my sword,
And won thy love doing thee
injuries;

In the play, the
statement by Theseus confirmed events in Greek mythology that described how Theseus
first met Hippolyta. According to the myth, Theseus among other Greek heroes waged war
upon the Amazons, a race of independent warrior women. Theseus fought against Hippolyta
and defeated her in combat. He was also attracted to Hippolyta because she was queen of
the Amazons. Theseus decided to marry her and make her queen of Athens. In this regard,
Theseus first met Hippolyta during the war with the Amazons, as inferred by Theseus’s
statement in Act 1.

The wedding arrangements were made in
Athens and Theseus was set to marry Hippolyta, while at the same time offered to share
their wedding with the two couples of; Hermia- Lysander and Demetrius -
Helena.
