Synopsis:
Circe takes Wonder Woman captive on her island. She explains to the Princess that she made an exchange with the Goddess of Witchcraft, Hecate. She traded her soul for Hecate's to gain power, immortality and eternal beauty. The Goddess prophesied that Circe will be killed by a witch bearing the same name. Circe believes that Diana is that witch. She further explains to the Amazon how she manipulated Theseus' wife Ariadne, into killing Antiope after the Amazon Queen found happiness with her former tormentor, Theseus. On the island of Cephalonia, Julia Kapatelis translates the scroll stolen from Circe's island. In it she finds the secret of defeating Circe. Julia and the rebels use Diana's lasso to attack Circe's island. The lasso leads Julia to Diana where Circe is about to convert the princess back into clay. Julia scatters the potion. Diana stops her friend from killing Circe because she doesn't want to possess the soul of Hecate and its attendant evil power. Circe turns the tables and is about to kill Julia when she suddenly disappears. Unbeknown to Diana and Julia, Hermes acted to save the two women out of regret for not warning Diana about Circe. The rebels believe that Diana killed Circe.
