Ares manipulates Hercules to attack the Amazons. Hippolyta opens the Amazons city to Hercules and his men to prevent war between them. They are betrayed and imprisoned as Hercules steals her magical girdle. The goddesses free them in exchange for their pledge to not seek vengeance, but Antiope leads them to decimate Hercules men, and leads a contingent of Amazons, including Artemis to leave their kingdom and to make war on Athens, ignoring their vow. Hippolyta's remaining Amazons are granted a new island home, but are tasked with protecting Doom's Doorway. Theseus wins an audience with Antiope, humbling himself and begging her forgiveness. They are married.
