Paradise Island Lost (comics)

epic poem of the same name by John Milton

Bana-Mighdall Amazon sisters. It is not long until the feud leads to a civil war on Paradise Island between the two tribes breaking out. The war comes to a head as Magala from Bana-Mighdall, the architect of the conflict, is revealed to be none other than Ariadne, in her plot for revenge against the Amazons. With the help of Fury, Ariadne is defeated, and mother and daughter stop the war between the two above the skies with the promise of starting change. They start by shocking everyone with the abolition of the Themysciran Royal Family as both Hippolyta and Diana lay down their titles as Queen and Princess, thus resolving the differences that have long festered between the Amazons of Paradise Island and the Bana-Mighdalls. But even after all that, Hippolyta continues to fight alongside the Justice Society of America

crossover of 2001, "Our Worlds at War", led to Hippolyta being killed off in issue #172, before the two could reconcile. In issue #173, Diana returns to her Amazon sisters to help them before they are destroyed. Later on, in issue #177, Themyscira is rebuilt as, at that time, floating islands. When Diana becomes their princess and ambassador again, she meets her mother once more in the afterlife, and the two are given closure. Eventually, in the crossover Amazons Attack!
