In addition, Artemis tells Demeter a prophecy from Apollo stating that the Olympians will be beaten by their own blood which Demeter considers an inevitability. Upon causing an eclipse, Apollo and Artemis ride around town in a motorcycle threatening anyone with death if they prevent them from capturing [[Zola (DC Comics)|Zola]]. When they confront Wonder Woman, Artemis and Apollo state that she should give up aside from the fact that she made fools of their aunts and uncles. Wonder Woman would not go with Apollo's suggestion. [[Hermes (DC Comics)|Hermes]] assists Wonder Woman into fighting Apollo and Artemis because he claims that they will murder Wonder Woman and her companions for the throne. Both of them managed to make off with Zola.<ref>''Wonder Woman'' Vol. 4 #11</ref>
