Description
Hippolyta joins Earth-27.I could have easily written much more about her. I guess it's time for another E27 Journal Entry to showcase the cutting room floor of the many, many, many things that did not make the cut in Lyta's Oracle File.
A quick note on the mild sexual themes, I tried to keep her origin somewhat faithful to the actual myths concerning her character (or at least acknowledge how history could have warped the original tale to the myths we know today) and I felt that the arrangement Zeus and Hippolyta made felt barbaric enough for the times, but also felt true to the character of Zeus (a divine horn-dog if ever there was one) and Hippolyta's willingness to give anything for the service of her people... and through that union, we now have Wonder Woman. I'm interested in what you guys think. Let me know.
Anyway, if this offends any of you, I apologize and would be interested to hear your feedback as well.
Earth-27 by Westerman and Cho, based on DC Comics' characters and titles.

So, no record of her husband's name
π: 0 β©: 1
Correct. No record of her first husband's name.
Was married to Theseus, the Founder of Athens, for some time in Ancient Greece.

Do any other Amazon know?

Depends on how much Shakespeare they take in.

Would they ever read anything by a guy?

For gods' sake, they're not strawwomen. Just because they don't like having men on their island for reasons that change over time doesn't mean the Amazons would just reject art made by men outright.

When was the last time anything like that was shown?

I advise you to read Wonder Woman comics that aren't, say, tie-ins to Countdown to Final Crisis.

Wait, so is Hercules/Hercules Zeus' son in Earth-27?Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Which name do you prefer? Heracles or Hercules, and why?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hercules as he doesn't like Hera.

Agreed, also Hercules just sound more dynamic.

We all knew when dealing with the greeks things were going to get messy, and I believe that's why Stephen Fry likes the Greek Pantheon because they made no mistake of believing their gods were perfect. Since the Greeks gave us theatre and by Β extension the 'greek tragedy' this was not gonna be all sunshines and rainbows, and I am very happy about that.
Hippolyta is a character I sadly knew little about so I am glad to have my mind opened and expanded when reading this piece, she does come across as a noble and just leader who got screwed by the gods (and yes I use that word deliberately) but in that pain something beautiful was born, the amazons and by extension Diana. Sometimes things that start out horribly have a tendency to end beautifully, am I talking about this or Greek Theatre? Heh, excellent work old friend, I apologize for only just starting this tirade of comments now but work has been very hard.

Better than that dreaded "Amazon Attacks" series or Flashpoint Amazons
Also would the Lyta nickname is close to Linda, as in Linda Carter Wonder Woman?

Oh nice. Wait Arthur hitting on Diana during a peace treaty with the Amazons? That wouldn't happen to be a Flashpoint Easter Egg on the night of Flash's return now would it?

Love the VOX Box, especially considering Hippolyta's obsession with grandchildren at times. haha
I'd be surprised if anyone *would* be offended by this. Considering how many problems Zeus sired and caused because he couldn't keep certain instruments to himself as well as some versions of Norse sagas*, this is was incredibly tame.
* Compare and contrast Loki's appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, to his, how to put this nice, "foal" children in Norse sagas.

The possible offense I sae was not in Zeus' part, but on Hippolyta's where she in the course of the file she is seduced by not one but two Greek Gods.
While I see the first as creating some hatred for men and the other as a sacrifice made for her people and thus both character building events in her life, I could see an argument to be made for it making her look weak.

So I'm guessing that your gonna have an Amazon theme going on right now with both Hippolyta and Requiem coming out next to each other right?
π: 0 β©: 2
Yes. We are in the week one of the "Days of Wonder" event.

Yes, Days Of Wonder/Amazon Week.

Then should I be expecting Cassie finally making her appearance on Earth-27?
π: 0 β©: 2
Idk. According to the GoFundMe page she still needs funding along with the rest of YJ.

Besides Roy, Phil, and the sponsor who knows. All we have are guesses and fan theories

Dwight Johnson? I think Oracle meant Dwayne Johnson 
π: 0 β©: 2
Nah... Dwight is the E27 version.
Dwight "the Mineral" Johnson.
No. I blame watching Office reruns earlier the other day while writing this. I'll fix it.
π: 0 β©: 1
According to Wikipedia, there were a few *Dwight* Johnsons of note, though none in the Detective Comics' verse. So either it was a typo as you noted or Babs likes older men.

Is Wonder Woman's tall tale a reference to Futurama? About that... um... *ahem* "scene"?

Really well done, and a good reconciliation of the various origin myths

So Lyta is just a nickname and not a reference to Lyta Trevor, correct?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's kinda both. But in-universe, just a nickname.
π: 0 β©: 2
Hey Roy, You could use Lyta for your 2027 Generation of
Teen Titans.
