- History: Themyscira, also known as Paradise Island, is the home of the Amazons. It exists where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Aegean Sea. Themyscira is protected from the sight of man by a perpetual blanket of clouds and fog.
Named for the walled city in ancient Greece that was their original home, Themyscira was settled centuries ago, after the warrior race of Amazon women had been seduced and humiliated by a demigod and his troops. Placed in bondage by men, they were finally freed by the goddess Athena in exchange for their renunciation of their warlike ways and their rededication to the ways of the Mother Earth goddess Gaea. Queen Hippolyta accepted Athena's conditions.
The Amazons were sent by Athena and the other goddesses to an unchartered island, beneath which an unspeakable evil had been imprisoned. In exchange for an agreement to act as jailers to this vile evil for all eternity, the souls of the Amazons would be purified once again, and they would be granted immortality as long as no man ever set foot upon the island. Poseidon, the god of the sea, parted the waters of the Aegean Sea so that the Amazons could walk to their new home.
Their island home had been declared a paradise, and the Amazons built a new city where they could live and house their art and history. Great halls of justice serve as icons to the glory of the gods and offshore island as a great centre of medicine and healing. While the Amazons developed their new civilisation on the island, the unknown evil remains imprisoned below. It is kept at bay by giant battlements and Amazon guards, many of whom died over the centuries in the battle to keep it keep it contained.
