Jennifer Eve Tiamat is the George Perez / Greg Potter / Len Wein Wonder Woman.. thru Stave electricity... she she she released herself from her 18 / 19 year old youth .. lost two or three years of her life in a wasteland of the Greek God Ares, the Roman Gods Janus and Mars, Hermes spent those two and three years looking for her.. she read T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound.. Wallace Stevens.. William Butler Yeats.. William Blake.. and Henry Miller (?) (!).. in that time.. when she was twenty-two years old.. Hermes finally found her.. and in the lightest feather of ease.. Hermes gave her the power of flight... he like an old Gepetto out of the novel and and and movie "Pinnochio" built wood sculpture wood-cut invented winged sandals for Diana so she could fly with the lightest, most unhindered, most spring summer breeze of ease with Hermes to earth.. to a nice, suburban town on earth.. this actually did happen in issue #3 of George Perez's original Wonder Woman run...
.. it was when she started living with Julia and little Vanessa that she Diana found a copy of the collected works of William Shakespeare in Julia's basement and started reading it.. Diana was twenty-two years old when she started reading Shakespeare.. when Diana was almost twenty-three .. Diana found.. in a deftly, adroitly, organizationally cluttered back room of Julia's basement.. Diana found a classic copy of Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmilion".. with reticence and a subtle, backward tremulousness of fear as to Bernard Shaw's potential moral sterness.. Diana started reading "Pygmilion".. and found to her pleasure how unfounded such fears were.. how moral sterness was so impossibly alien to Shaw that it could have been to Shaw a phenomenon .. - moral sterness - that belonged to a plane a planet like Krypton that he'd never heard of..
.... Diana is still reading Shaw when she's twenty-four years old.. Diana's still reading Shaw when she's twenty-five years old.. oh, man.. oboy..
.. Hermes: .. ".. ahhuhh.. uhh.. Diana .. I wouldn't pick up that copy .. or any volume.. no ... buy the first volume.. wait no.. yes.. no .. wait.. I wouldn't recommend you read any volume of Michael Holroyd's biography of George Bernard Shaw.. wait for someone else to write another one.."
Diana.. later at home.. Diana .. later at a coffee shop...
Diana: .. ".. Shakespeare... William Shakespeare is looking better and better these days..."..
