Bio: Queen of the Amazons of Themyscira, Hippolyta is also
Diana's mother. Amazons are taught to be unconcerned with man's world,
but even the queen is not without compassion. There have been a few
times, there have been honored men in her eyes, though far and few in
between. Unfortunately, laws hold up, even for her daughter, and
Hippolyta was forced to exhile her daughter to go in exile from
Themyscira for bringing men to the island. But, that's not to say she
doesn't see Diana, for she appeared at Superman's funeral, complete in
ceremonial garbs.
Hippolyta also had a brief "fling" with the ruler of hell himself,
Hades. It's in this relationship she was tricked into waging war--and
for this she paid dearly. The entrance to hell was sealed with a key
that was spread out across the Earth. The evil sorcerer Felix Faust
ended up forcing Diana into putting this key together, in exchange for
freeing her Amazon sisters from their stone prisons. Good prevailed in
the end and Hades was sealed away again.
