In the comics, Minerva is a wealthy archaeolo...

This is slightly different than her depiction in the comics, but that’s okay. While Diana’s mother, Hipp...
Hippolyta – that’s Queen Hippolyta, to you – is Diana’s mother and ruler of the Amazons. The exact details of the movie differ from the comics, but the beats of her story are the same.
