Briareos? You probably never heard of him. (I'm pretty sure I can't even pronounce it). Well, let me explain who he is and why he is so dangerous.

Wonder Woman believed that Zeus was too arrogant and selfish to rule Olympus so she challenged him to the throne. The only way for Zeus to be removed is for someone to defeat his champion, Briareos the Hekatonkheires; a beast with a hundred arms and fifty heads.

In case you are unfamiliar with the creature, Briareos is the most powerful being in all Greek mythology. He is more powerful than any god or Titan (including Zeus, Gaea, or Cronus). According to legend, he defeated his enemies by hurling a hundred mountains at them simultaneously.

After enduring an epic battle, Diana defeated Briareos by turning him to stone with Medusa's head. And just to show off, Diana defeated the Hekatonkheires... blindfolded! That's right. Not only did she slay the most strongest entity in Greek myth but she did it without looking. After Zeus was removed from his throne, Wonder Woman chose the goddess of wisdom, Athena to rule Olympus.
