Goddess of the Hunt
- Also known as the Mistress of Animals, Artemis is one of the female Goddesses of Themyscira. In the classical period of Greek mythology, Artemis (Greek: Ἄρτεμις) was often described as the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo. She was the Hellenic Goddess of the hunt, wild animals, wilderness, childbirth, virginity and protector of young girls, bringing and relieving disease in women; she often was depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and arrows. The deer and the cypress were sacred to her.
Goddess of Warfare
- Athena, also known as Pallas, is the Goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, just warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill. She is the virgin patroness of Athens. The Athenians founded the Parthenon on the Acropolis of her namesake city, Athens (Athena Parthenos), in her honor. The Temple of Athena is where the women of Themyscira come when times of war are upon them. The smartest among the Amazons can generally be seen within its walls conversing on that which plagues Man's World, why it plagues them, and why they can do nothing about it.
The temple is fairly large capable of fitting a total of two hundred and fifty [250] people at a single time. At all times of the day, the animals can be seen resting along the entrance to the Temple. During times of war, beneath the Temple, an underground passage was created by the Goddess of Warfare herself in order to use during times of dire need. The passage leads back to the shores of Themyscira, and is very useful for surprise
