— Artemis

Artemis, also known as Moon, is the Greek Goddess of the hunt and Apollo's twin sister.

History

This section of the history takes place during the New 52, between the events of Flashpoint and DC Rebirth. It was later revealed that much of Wonder Woman's history from this time was an elaborate illusion created by the Gods of Olympus to keep her away from Paradise Island. All or part of this section may have been part of that illusion and no longer valid in Rebirth.

In a series of false memories implanted by Zeus Artemis attempted to kill Wonder Woman at her brother's bidding.
