This is the first time I ever recall the Amazons looking like they've been crafted by the Gods.

Rough sketch for Venilia and Timandra. We've seen the final design for the latter, still waiting on the former:
Venilia and Timandra.jpg
Venilia was a minor Amazon from the first post-Crisis WW annual, in the story "the Diving Bird." For this reason I'm guessing she and Euboea will be in the same tribe, and with their association with the sea I'm speculating they will be part of the Aphrodite faction. Aphrodite of all the patrons has the strongest connection to the sea due to her origin.
Or I'm wildly off base lol.
Agreed. They are a lot of more epic and mythic than they frequently have been before. I think dividing the Amazons into factions who worship a different goddess and each Amazon having armor or parts of their persona connection to various stories about the Gods (Philippus's armor being about Persephone's abduction, Aella's referencing the death of Actaeon by Artemis's dogs, Consivia's armor referencing Gorgons and Medusa) contributes to that in a big way.

Yes. She moulded them. Hippolyta creating Diana was inspired by how Aphrodite herself created Hippolyta and the rest of the amazons.
