Bios - Hippolyta
Voiced By: Virginia
Madsen
Position: Queen of Themyscira Biography: Though she
once loved the God of War, Ares, and had a son with him,
Thrax, Hippolyta would eventually find that she man she
had a child with was far from the ideal husband and
father. After waging war on the Amazons, Ares and Thrax
engaged the Amazonians in a bloody and lengthy battle.
Having no other choice than to behead her own son,
Hippolyta killed Thrax and nearly did the same to Ares
before Hera and Zeus intervened. As a result of their
involvement, Ares was stripped of his powers and left in
a prison on Themiscrya to be watched over by the
Amazons.
Hippolyta would go on to create a
daughter from the Earth of Themiscrya. She named her
Diana and though she sheltered her away from some of the
more violent things in the world, she knew deep down
that her daughter was a great warrior. Hippolyta
eventually let her daughter go to the United States
after a pilot crash landed on Themiscrya (rather than
let him die, Hippolyta made the island visible in order
for Trevor to be able to safely land). After learning
that Ares had escaped his prison, Hippolyta eventually
went to the US to aid her daughter in defeating Ares and
his army of the undead, which culminated in another
bloody battle in Washington, D.C. It was here that
Hippolyta killed the traitor Persephone, who had helped
Ares escape his prison. Although she came close to
engaging him, Hippolyta never directly fought Ares;
instead it was her daughter that beheaded the God of
War, laying him to rest with Hades once and for all.
