vitruvians:The Women of Themyscira - A Magazine EditorialThe immortal Amazons were created over 3,000 years ago to teach the merits of virtue, love, and equality to the men of “Patriarch’s World”, and they founded the city-state of Themyscira in ancient Greece.Ares, the God of War, a chief opponent of the Amazons, manipulated his half-brother Heracles to gather forces and attack Themyscira, where Heracles seduced and ravaged the Amazon Queen Hippolyta. His forces succeeded in ransacking Themyscira and enslaving the Amazons. Through strength and savage cunning, the Amazons freed themselves, slaughtering most of their captors. -- source link
