Gods and Mortals

"Gods and Mortals" is a seven issue comic book story arc plotted and drawn by George Pérez, with scripting by Greg Potter and Len Wein. Released in 1987, this was the first arc of the relaunched Wonder Woman series. A tale of the Amazons from 30,000 BC to now. A cavewoman, and her unborn daughter, are murdered by her mate. On Mount Olympus, Ares opposes Artemis' plans to create a new race of female mortals to set an example to other mortals, and Zeus does not care. Artemis and four other Goddesses, Athena, Hestia, Demeter, and Aphrodite, go to the Cavern of Souls where they use all the souls of perished, except for one, to create reborn, ageless Amazons. With their queens, Queen Hippolyta and Queen Antiope, the Amazons are successful but there is jealously from Greek kings.
