If you are an avid reader of DC comics, you must be familiar with the character of Wonder Woman. She is the warrior princess of the immortal Amazons. The story is heavily inspired by the Amazons of Greek mythology.
Back in her homeland, Wonder Woman is known as Princess Diana of Themyscira. She is the daughter of Queen Hippolyta, the ruler of the immortal Amazons. Legend has it that Diana was the first girl to be born in three thousand years on Paradise Island. Her birth was extraordinary because the other inhabitants of Isla Guerrera were not born in the literal sense of the term. They were created by the Greek goddesses by extracting the souls of all the women who had been executed by men. Queen Hippolyta was the first soul to reincarnate. Of all the souls of the women who were revived, one soul was left behind. It was the soul of the unborn daughter of the woman who was killed first. It was prophesied that this soul would be born as Diana to Queen Hippolyta.
Around the second half of the 20th century, the Goddesses fulfilled Hippolyta’s wish for a child. She was asked to mold some clay from the shores of Paradise Island into the shape of a girl. Six goddesses from the Greek pantheon, Demeter, Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hestia, and Hermis, brought the clay structure to life, each bestowing a unique gift on it that together explains its superior combat and battle skills.
- Demeter: Super Strength
- Athena: Courage and Wisdom
- Artemis: Communion with animals and the heart of a hunter
- Aphrodite: Beauty
- Hestia: Brotherhood with Fire
- Hermis: The power of flight and speed
Diana grew up among women and sisters in the forest. Although trained to be a warrior, she was not a superhero from the start. She used her powers to address issues of war, death, inequality, and conflicts between the Olympian gods. Themyscirian was her main language, a combination of classical Greek and Turkish. English was learned only after she came to America.
When Diana was a pretty young girl, the gods ordered the Amazons to send an ambassador to Earth. A contest was held to select a suitable emissary. Diana was not allowed to participate. However, she went against her mother, she participated in disguise and won the championship. She therefore, was sent as an emissary to the world of Man.
