"Exposure", leaving an unwanted baby exposed in the wilderness to die, is treated as a normal thing and natural thing to do when it comes to babies who were unhealthy or female by just about all the human characters in the first issue. It's averted however in the case of Hippolyta, who realizes she just can't leave a baby to die in the wilderness and rushes back in hopes of rescuing it.

* ShownTheirWork: While some liberties were taken with the original myths, for aesthetic reasons and to fit with the modern Wonder Woman world, overall these depictions and incarnations of the Greek gods, while highly unusual, are still well-searched. Poseidon was never depicted as a winged centaur in mythology, but he is the patron god of horses and the father of Pegasus. The idea of Hera having a thousand eyes that are ever-watching is actually a reference to the myth of Argus, a hundred-eyed giant that served her faithfully (and when he died she put his eyes on the peacock's feathers, the same associated with this Hera's thousands of eyes). And Demeter was indeed associated with snakes, who were perceived as creatures of ground and often showed up whenever there was a chthonic or earthly/agricultural element in Greek myths.
