Storyline
Goaded on by Pan, Zeus decides to take Diana as his lover, but she refuses. As punishment for her refusal, Zeus challenges the princess to enter the portal that leads beneath Themyscira to face a series of labors assigned her by each of the gods until all of Olympus is convinced of her worth. Armed for her task, Wonder Woman enters the portal and begins her quest, facing first Cottus and then the seven-headed Hydra.
