The Sword of Athena, is a magical armament that Princess Diana wields in battle when fighting as Wonder Woman.
Contents
History[]
Construction[]
At some point the sword was presumably created and wielded by the Olympian Goddess of Wisdom, Crafts, and Strategy, Athena.
Wonder Woman[]
Some time after World War I, Wonder Woman somehow acquired a replacement for Godkiller, the sword that Ares had destroyed.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice[]
Wonder Woman would eventually proceed to wield the sword against Doomsday, managing to slice off the monster's right arm with it.
Specifications[]
Much like Wonder Woman's shield, the sword has Ancient Greek writing engraved on both sides of its blade and a symbol that represents the Amazons of Themyscira.
Trivia[]
- The writing on the blade is a quote from Joseph Campbell's Goddesses: Mysteries of the Feminine Divine, which reads: "Life is killing life all the time and so the goddess kills herself in the sacrifice of her own animal."
