![]() ![]() She took her deeper into the temple archives, showing her a shrine to the Amazon's patron goddesses where some of their most ancient texts were stored, and demonstrated that each statue of the patron goddesses carried a tome- all of them except Aphrodite. However, Diana was intrigued by Clio's debate with Hellene, and, impassioned, sought to learn more about Amazon history from Clio.Ĭlio informed Diana that parts of Amazonian history had been lost over the years. Clio took the position that there were imperfect, dark parts of Themiscyra's history, a position that her superior, Hellene admonished her for. The next day, she met Clio in the archives, where they discussed Themiscyra's history. ![]() This did not satisfy Diana she sought adventure, and she saw no such thing taking place in Themisycra's archives. However, her path had already been decided: she would learn the art of storytelling from Clio, the Scribe. She offered her elders a number of ways she could help: building with Calyce, working the stables with Althea, or tending to the gardens with Oenone. She felt unsatisfied with her life, with her seeming lack of purpose. ![]() Oenone took Diana to a small camp elswhere on the beach, where the Amazons had organized a birthday celebration for Diana.ĭespite the celebration, Diana felt ill at ease. Much to Diana's relief, she would quickly be pulled from the water by Oenone, who gently admonished her for not training Jumpa more thoroughly, and for fearing the megaladons, who protected the island. While underwater, she saw a megalodon in the distance. She and Jumpa proceeded to the beach, where Jumpa, who had not been fully trained, bucked her off, into the water.

Grail, spirited from the island by her mother, Myrina, would one day grow to be a dangerous enemy to Diana, and to all Amazons. A third child, Grail, would be born to an Amazon on Themyiscyra that stormy evening half divine, like Diana and Jason, but with a significantly less glorious father: Darkseid. Unbeknownst to Diana, her mother also gave birth to her twin, a brother named Jason. The truth, though, was that Queen Hippolyta had had an affair with Zeus, and Diana's real parentage was hidden in order to protect the Queen and her daughter from the wrath of Zeus' notoriously jealous wife Hera. Legend told Diana of Themyscira was born of her mother's strong desire for a child, a lump of clay brought to life in the form of a girl the perfect Amazon, as she was born of no man. 1.5.12 Return of the Amazons and Loveless.1.5.3 Children of the Gods and Swan's Song. ![]()
