The throne room of Mount Olympus has changed somewhat since Zeus was removed from the kingship. There is less pomp and circumstance; there is none of that now as Athena sits, once more in her professorial garb, waiting for Diana of Themyscira to finish walking down the length of the room ( Read more... )
