Diana Prince: Wonder Woman Appreciation 2020

[Gaius]

I do like how Diana's first "victory" against Ares in Post-Crisis wasn't a dust up but her basically talking him into stopping .

If I had a main criticism of the movie it’s that I’d have preferred that’s how Ares would have been dealt with.

Ares, Cheetah...I dunno, is that supposed to be Cyber on the bottom right and Circe on the bottom left?

It is Cyber (it's one of the versions Sharp drew her in) but yeah blanking on the bottom right. I'd assume Circe but could also be Grail.

I'm thinking Dark Angel after considering Circe and that's definitely one of the incarnations of Rebirth's Doctor Cyber. Glorious cover.

Wonder Woman defeating her enemies by using diplomacy is what makes her different from the other DC heroes.

In the original myths, I don't think the belt had any special significance beyond just being a valued possession of Hippolyta and that it was gifted from Ares.

Sorry, I'm late... I didn't follow the thread too closely.

In at least one source I have read that in ancient Greece, it was the sign of an unmarried woman to wear a belt on her dress. When she married, her husband removed the belt, and she then wore a dress w/out belt. (The belt itself was sacrificed to Artemis.) Amazons did not marry - they considered marriage a thinly-veiled form of slavery. In that context, requesting that Hippolyta remove her belt would be a kind of sexual harassment. Which explains why an Amazon wouldn't let a man remove her belt, and why Hippolyta resisted Heracles.

Wasn't aware of that cultural detail, thanks for the insight.
