Notes In a rare instance, Queen Hippolyte leaves Paradise Island to aid the Aztecs against the Conquistadores, in 1519 AD; it is noted that this is "long before the birth of Wonder Woman." Hippolyte mentions she is not "permitted' to remain longer, suggesting she was granted permission by the goddesses; she is still renowned amongst modern Aztecs as "the white goddess."
