Fictional History
Thalarion was created by the Olympian god Zeus to home his newly created race of male warriors, the Gargareans. It was created 300 nautical miles (560 km) from the island of Themyscira.
On the island Zeus created a kingdom city made of clear crystal and a river of gold. Zeus also provided the island with winged lions and winged horses so that the Gargareans could travel by air.
Famous quotes containing the words fictional and/or history:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“America is the only nation in history which, miraculously, has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Attributed to Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
