Synopsis:

Darrel Keyes has been murdered on the steps of the Amazon embassy, and as violence breaks out between Wonder Woman's supporters and detractors, all fueled by Doctor Psycho, the ambassador herself is attacked by the Silver Swan. This is her old friend Vanessa Kapatelis, once more controlled and cybernetically augmented by unscrupulous parties. Wonder Woman does not want to hurt her, but fears she may have to. Meanwhile, on Olympus, Zeus has been affected by Eros and is caught by Hera gazing at the amazon Artemis. Hera's reaction to this is unexpected, even to Ares. In a fit of pique, she sends the whole of Themyscira crashing into the ocean. On Earth, Wonder Woman subdues the Silver Swan and Fallon takes Doctor Psycho off to kill him, as he had been instructed by Veronica Cale.

This is a story of the Golden Age Wonder Woman and does not fit into current continuity. It is inspired by Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

Luckily, Wonder Woman discovers the plot and returns to save the Holliday girls from the robot, who, being discovered not to be truly evil, is granted true life by the goddess Aphrodite.

Comment(s):

As the retelling of the Perseus/Medusa myth in this story is not entirely accurate (due to being a bedtime story for young boys, the characters who appear in it are not listed above. They are: Perseus, his mother Danae, the king Polydectes, Stheno, Euryale, Medousa, Poseidon, Athena (behind the scenes), Hermes, the Gray Sisters, Atlas, the Nymphs of the West.

Synopsis:

Robert and Martin Garibaldi demand a bedtime story of a hero, so Cassie (Wonder Girl) Sandsmark tells them the story of the ancient hero Perseus who beheaded the gorgon Medousa. She is assisted in her telling by the embassy's chef, Ferdinand.
