Synopsis:
Athena begins destroying Paradise Island with an earthquake. When Hippolyta questions the goddess, Athena tells her that a man has set foot on Paradise Island. Hippolyta discovers that a statue of her former love has been brought to life by an angry Aphrodite.
Hippolyta pleads with the goddesses to spare Paradise Island. She explains that seeing her daughter gather the attention of men made her long for her former prince. When she created the statue, she prayed to Athena. Aphrodite was angered that Hippolyta did not pray to her, since she is the goddess of love. When the animated prince sacrifices himself for Hippolyta, Aphrodite's anger dissipates, so she turns him back to stone. Athena then halts the earthquakes and spares Paradise Island.
