War of the Gods

The War of the Gods was an ancient conflict instigated by Ares, the God of War, in a bloody crusade to exterminate humanity and kill any Olympian gods who opposed him. Ares was supported by the goddess Hecate, and her apprentice, who shared his belief that humans were an evil race that did not deserve to exist on the Earth, though he eventually betrayed them and kill Hecate alongside the other gods. Although he successfully killed all of the Olympian gods who opposed him, Ares was defeated and left grievously injured in a climactic battle against his father, Zeus, though still managed to fatally wound the King of the Gods as well. Before he died, Zeus utilized the last of his power to create the island of Themyscira as a safe haven for the Amazons and fathered a child with Queen Hippolyta as a weapon against Ares should he ever return and resume his crusade against the world.
