{{main|Silver Age of Comic Books}}
During the [[Silver Age of Comic Books|Silver Age]] of the 1960s, under writer [[Robert Kanigher]], Wonder Woman's origin was revamped,<ref>''Wonder Woman'' #98 (May 1958)</ref> along with other characters'. The new origin story increased the character's [[wikt:Hellenism|Hellenic]] and mythological roots: receiving the blessing of each deity in her crib, Diana is destined to become as "beautiful as [[Aphrodite]], wise as [[Athena]], strong as [[Hercules]], and swift as [[Hermes]]."<ref name="Wonder Woman (vol. 1) #105">''Wonder Woman'' #105 (April 1959)</ref>

At the end of the 1960s, under the guidance of [[Mike Sekowsky]], Wonder Woman surrendered her powers to remain in Man's World rather than accompany her fellow Amazons to another dimension. Wonder Woman was always Diana Prince and opens a [[Mod (subculture)|mod]] boutique. She acquires a Chinese mentor named [[I Ching (comics)|I Ching]], who teaches Diana [[martial arts]] and weapons skills. Using her fighting skill instead of her powers, Diana engaged in adventures that encompassed a variety of genres, from espionage to mythology.<ref>''Wonder Woman'' #179 (1968)</ref><ref name="Reed">{{cite web|last=Reed|first=Bill|title=365 Reasons to Love Comics|url=http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2007/03/05/365-reasons-to-love-comics-64/|website=[[Comic Book Resources]]|date=March 5, 2007|access-date=March 5, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070312235637/http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2007/03/05/365-reasons-to-love-comics-64/|archive-date=March 12, 2007|url-status=live}}</ref> This phase of her story was directly influenced by the British spy thriller ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' and [[Diana Rigg]]'s portrayal of [[Emma Peel]].<ref>"We were all in love with Diana Rigg and that show she was on."
