'"I didn't give him a name. When I saw the two of you, the overwhelming joy I felt seeing you was struck down when I saw...a boy, I couldn't bear to look at him So I prayed to the gods "Take him away, make him die." He got the pox and I knew I was the worst woman who ever lived. A murderer. I'd condemned this poor, innocent child to a horrible death all because of a circumstance he had no control over. So I prayed to all the Gods "Let the boy live. Let him live and I'll love him. I'll be a mother to him. I'll give him a true name, to call him an Amazon and be done with it, to make him one of us. And he lived, but I couldn't keep my promise. I gave him to Hephaestus. And everything that's happened since then, all this horror that's come to my people... it's all because we couldn't love beautiful little baby boys."'

Fortunate Son
To reproduce and keep the Amazon race alive, the Themyscirans would copulate with captured men, either from  raided ships on the high seas or prisoners of war. At the end of the mating, they take their lives and throw their corpses into the sea. Triumphant, the Amazons return to Themyscira, and wait. Nine months later, some celebrate the birth of a daughter; some don't: the boy who would one day be called Zosimos was on of those boys. He was born the fraternal twin of the demigoddess and eventual superhero: Diana of  Themyscira/Wonder Woman. Compassionate of the fate of the boys, the Greek god Hephaestus made an agreement with the Amazons: he would trade weapons made by him for those so-called failures. The Sons of Themyscira would work in the Hephaestus' forge, finding a purpose. In his forge, the Sons are artists, and they are happy.
