Who is Hippolyta?
Origin It all began during the cavemen period. A caveman was angry that he was banished from his tribe. He encountered a woman who offered him some compassion. Later, she was murdered which was the first woman murdered by man's hatred. During 1300 BCE, the goddesses of Greece organised a meeting and discussed the creation of beings that would fit under their ideals. Zeus and Ares did not approve of this, and Hera , not wanting to go against her husband opted not to involve herself. So it was left to the other five goddesses to decide. They travelled to the Well of Souls, which is the place where the souls of all women murdered by man's hatred were placed.
