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:
“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
