Menalippe's prophecies are always true. She saw Hercules! She saw this island! She saw the births! We cannot risk this war's happening too! 
- — Penelope src
Penelope was an Amazonian warrior and seer, and one of the few people who knew of Myrina's child.
History
Divergence
On a stormy day on Themyscira, Penelope and Menalippe were present on the secret delivery of fellow Amazon warrior Myrina, who gave birth to a hideous child who Menalippe foresaw will bring nothing more than chaos and death to everyone, starting a mind-shattering war among two Dark Gods who will ravage all of existence.
Trying to prevent this, Penelope attacked the infant with the intent of slaying her before the prophecy comes true, but was stopped and slaughtered alongside Menalippe by Myrina who decided to conceal their disappearance and leave the island, all to protect her evil child.[1]
Infinite Frontier
With the latest redefinition of the Multiverse,[2] Penelope has returned to life and her duties as a seer just like in her pre-Flashpoint version.
Under the rule of Queen Nubia, with the rebirth of new Amazons of Themyscira sprouting from the Well of Souls after centuries of inactivity since the sprouting of Nubia, Penelope saw in her dreams that this could herald the destruction of Themyscira in the near future.[3]
