Queen Hippolyte recounts the mythological origin of the Amazons and their ancient conflict with the world of men. She describes the brutal battle that led to their exodus and the divine intervention that granted them the hidden sanctuary of Themyscira.
HIPPOLYTE: We were created to guard against the evils of the world. Strong, wise, and compassionate, Hera gave breath to the AMAZON. In ancient days, we lived among Mankind... but Man fears what it cannot control. They sought to take the power of the Amazon - but doing so would have destroyed Man’s World. To protect the world from such devastation we would do anything... even flee. We sailed forward without a destination, guided only by our faith. HERA BOITHO MAS!!
